Zhongtaojun seems to have written many articles about Beautiful joints of ceramic tiles before, so let’s talk about this topic today! Whenever this is mentioned, many people will ask whether it is possible to do sewing by yourself. In this way, you don’t have to spend money to hire a decorator to do it. If you have had the same idea in your mind, why not stop and take a look!
If you really want to save a little money on decoration, you can actually do it yourself. So, are there any tips? Of course there will be, keep these 5 words in mind when sewing, and it is not impossible to achieve the same craftsmanship as a decorator! ! !
1. Qing
Cleaning refers to cleaning the gaps. Some tiles will be filled with caulking agent when they are laid. At this time, you need to use a gap cleaning cone to clean the gaps. Clean out the dust and impurities in the gap, keep it dry, clear a certain depth and width, and clean up the impurities on both sides of the gap, otherwise it will affect the adhesion of the sealant and easily cause it to fall off.
2. Paste
This step is for ceramic tiles with a relatively rough surface. Before applying glue, you need to paste textured paper on the edge of the gap on the surface of the ceramic tile to prevent the sealant from directly sticking to the ceramic tile and making it difficult to clean. The masking paper should be close to the gap, but do not stick it into the gap, otherwise it will affect the adhesion of the sealant. Moreover, the masking paper can be torn off after pressing the seam. There is no need to wait for the sealant to completely dry before applying glue.
3. Fill in
Fill the caulking agent into the gap. The two-component caulking agent requires the use of a glue gun to drive the colloid in. When applying glue, the 40cm or so of glue that has just been punched out at the front end should be discarded. Because this section of glue is not mixed evenly, not only will it not solidify, but it will also affect other beautiful seam effects. And when applying glue, you must maintain a certain strength and speed. Don't move the glue gun in a hurry. Make sure there is enough colloid in the gap.
4. Pressure
After gluing the gap, you can press the seam. However, do not press the seam while applying glue. This will not guarantee whether the colloid has sunk into the gap. When pressing seams, you must also pay attention and speed. Never press the same seam back and forth repeatedly. This will cause the uneven strength of the operation, resulting in uneven tightness of the caulking agent, and the surface will easily become uneven.The flat surface is tilted.
5. Shovel
The caulking process is almost over when the caulking agent is applied. You have to wait until the caulking agent is completely cured before caulking, usually about 24 hours. If the weather is cold, the waiting time will be longer. Use a glue shovel to shovel off the excess colloid on the surface of the tiles. When shoveling the glue, pay attention to check to make sure there are no problems with the beautiful seams inside the gaps. If there are any problems, they can be repaired immediately.
So, you see, it’s not impossible to do it yourself, right? You may even think that How to make beautiful seams on ceramic tiles is so simple, O(∩_∩)O haha~, so did you remember to read it? All right! I know you may not remember it, but Mr. Zhongtao has sorted out these 5 words a long time ago! That’s clear-paste-fill-press-shovel! Hurry up and learn! That’s it for today’s content sharing! Slip, slip, slip!
