- When this cement (or gypsum) "patch" dries off, cover it, carefully filling and leveling the remaining emptiness and the resulting cracks.

- Before proceeding with work, prepare a place - clean it from dirt, dust and other garbage. Moisten the surface of the wall.
- Before applying a foam, you need to shake the balloon well so that its contents turn into a homogeneous mass. You will have no less than a minute.
- During work, keep the balloon upside down, as the gas contained in it, which displaces the mounting foam, is easier for it.
- Filling the vertical slots should be taken up.
- If the hole is too deep, apply the contents of the cylinder with layers, overlapping a new layer after drying the previous one.
- Filling out the hole, do not touch the raw mounting foam with your hands, it can change the structure of the material and slow down the process of solidification. Wait until it dries.
- Remove the surplus dried foam with a knife and cover the surface.
- When the putty dries, align the place of fine-grained emery paper.
