On a smooth concrete wall incisions are made with hammer or axe. Typically, the length of these incisions is 5-10 cm, and the depth is about 0.5 cm.

To determine the necessary thickness of a layer of plaster, you need to check the plumbness of the walls. For this purpose, the building plumb. On the wall in the area near the ceiling, in the middle and in the corners hammer in nails. Their hat must be in the same plane, in this case, the distance from the nails to surfaces of the brick walls will provide the necessary thickness of a plaster layer at each point.

To achieve an even layer with the help of level (plumb) checked the surface of the walls, after that strongly tense cord is removed beacons-tube. Tubes need to get as more as possible equal stripes beacons from floor to ceiling. Then after setting the strips between them fill the space with mortar.

Broad wooden surfaces nadkalyvajut, and then drive small wedges in nadkoly. This method prevents the surface from warping, thus preventing cracking of the plaster walls. Dran need to fill in 2 layers.

First layer nailed at intervals of 5-6 cm at an angle of 45 degrees vertically. On top of it at the same angle and with the same frequency, but in the other direction nailed the second layer. The length of the nails should be no more than 30-50 mm.

Formed of a rectangular cell is then filled with a mixture of plaster. After drying it will stay on the surface of the wood wall firmly. Instead of drani it is possible to use a plastic or metal stucco mesh, which are fixed with nails to the surface.
