Close the cable slots

Close the cable slots1 Der angrenzende Putz wird zunächst mit einem Schwamm gründlich vorgenässt. That causes, that moisture is not removed too quickly from the plaster or filler, which can lead to poor adhesion and cracking. Particularly important, if the plaster has been removed with a chisel and has flaked off irregularly.

2 Mit einem Spachtel wird die Spachtelmasse auf einer Glättkelle abgestrichen. The mass should have a slightly stiffer consistency, so that it sticks well to the trowel.

3 Jetzt wird die Spachtelmasse abschnittweise in den Kabelschlitz gedrückt und dabei gleich grob abgezogen. To do this, place the trowel on the adjacent plaster with little pressure and pull in the direction of the slot.

4 Sobald der gesamte Schlitz gefüllt ist, take the long side of the smoothing trowel and smooth the surface. The more open (steeper) the trowel is held, the more material it takes.
