But wait. Don’t you think you are forgetting something? What about applying putty? A layer of Birla White Wall putty can make a lot of difference in terms of the strength and look of your walls. Let us see how.

Why do we need to apply wall putty?

Wall putty plays a very important role in beautifying your walls. It helps in bringing out the true topcoat colour, making your walls look brighter. Furthermore, it helps in filling up dents, cracks, and smoothening out the bumps caused by grey cement or plaster. It also resists dampness and flaking of walls.

All in all, wall putty is a combined package of beautifying and strengthening your walls, giving them the best finish for the topcoat to be applied.

The process of applying putty, however, is very important. The application process will determine how effective the putty will be with respect to all the benefits discussed above. One such essential part of the process is that of getting the putty mix ready to be applied to the walls.

Preparing the Birla White wallcare putty mix

Even before you start preparing your putty mix, do ensure that the wall is pre-wetted and is free of any dust, grease, or other materials.

The next step is to prepare the putty mix. To prepare a homogenous paste with your putty mix, you need to

1. Ensure that the water is poured into the putty mix and not the other way round.
2. Mix the putty by slowly adding water to it.
3. Birla white WallCare putty requires around 36-38% of clean water to make the perfect putty paste.
4. It should be thoroughly mixed for at least 10-15 minutes until a uniform paste is formed.
5. To get this uniform paste, you can use a mechanical mixer. This will help the paste be free of any lumps.
6. Remember to only prepare a quantity that can be used up in 2-3 hours.

Now, your putty mix is ready to be applied to any exterior or interior wall of the house!

A few additional points to keep in mind while applying wall putty

1. Applying 2 coats is ideal, with the thickness not going beyond 1.5mm.
2. Let the first coat dry for 3-4 hours before moving on to the second coat.
3. For the best results, let it dry overnight after the application of the second coat.
