Description锛?/strong> A skim coat is a thin layer of drywall joint compound (also known as mud) that gives walls a glass-smooth finish. It鈥檚 used to repair damaged walls and smooth down intentionally applied wall texture. 聽 What is wall putty? Wall putty is a white cement-based powder made of polymer and other minerals that improves the appearance of the wall. It is primarily used to fill cracks and holes in walls and to prepare an even surface for painting. 聽 Wall Putty is a special type of plaster that is often used on the interior walls of residential buildings. It鈥檚 great for interior walls because it鈥檚 easy to use, gives a nice finish, and is very cost-effective. 聽 Mixing wall putty is very similar to mixing water-based mud. You simply add all the ingredients together and mix them thoroughly until they form a paste. Putty is often made with a small amount of cement. Putty is typically applied with a trowel in a thin layer and then smoothed with a steel trowel to create a smooth finish. 聽 Cellulose Ether in Wall Putty Cellulose ether (CE) is a natural additive found in many building materials as thickeners, binders, film formers, and water-retention agents. Methyl cellulose (MC), methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC/HEMC), and methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose (MHPC/HPMC) are the most common cellulose ethers used as admixtures in building materials. 聽 It is mixed into wall putty to help it provide the properties that this type of plaster requires while also reducing shrinking and cracking. To put it another way, cellulose ether improves the performance and durability of your wall putty while also making it safer to use. If you want to improve the final properties of your plaster or extend its life, consider using additives. Let鈥檚 take a closer look at why wall putty requires cellulose ether as an additive to produce the best results possible. 聽 What is wall putty?

Wall putty is classified into two types: lime putty and cement putty. Lime putty is commonly found in older homes and is primarily made of limestone. Cement putty, on the other hand, is made of Portland cement and sand. Cement-based putty is more common than lime putty. It has a longer shelf life and dries faster than lime putty. While both types can be used on interior walls, cement putty is more commonly used on exterior walls. 聽 If you are unfamiliar with the cement-based wall putty formulation, please see the reference below.
