Removing leak marks on the roof of the house
The steps
- First, clean all ceiling surfaces from mold and dirt using an absorbent cloth and sandpaper. Use a ladder to reach the ceiling. Be careful when doing this, don't damage/break through the ceiling.
- Second, coat the surface of the ceiling where there are leak marks using alkaline sealer. This is so that the entire ceiling painting will look even, and there will be no color effects such as streaks. Leave it for 1-2 hours so that the layer dries completely.
- The third step is the first stage of painting the ceiling. This stage functions as a background color so that the final paint result will look clean and neat. The wall paint used should be mixed with water in a ratio of 10:1. Use a roller to make it easier for you to paint the entire surface of the ceiling.
- In the fourth stage, you will apply the second layer of paint. Different from the first layer, this second layer of paint uses a mixture of paint and water in a ratio of 5:1. Its function is to give a certain color to the ceiling of your house.
- As a final step, you can tidy up the paint, especially in the corners of the room.
Good luck and hopefully it will help you with your work at home.
