Preparation of the solution
Construction and repairs require flawless alignment of walls and ceilings, but if a powdery mixture is chosen, it must be diluted correctly.
Instructions for use are usually found on paper packaging. It indicates the exact proportions of water and building product, as well as the conditions for the maturation of the solution and the time of its action.
Usually a package of 25 kg is taken for 9 liters of water at room temperature. The mixture is poured into water and stirred until a homogeneous thick consistency. After it is infused (within 15 minutes), it is mixed again using a construction mixer. The solution must be used no more than a day. The admissible layer of putty is 5 mm.
It is worth noting that the nuances of the dilution of different types of Vetonit putty may differ slightly. Storage should be carried out in a dry, dark and cool place.
Application nuances
Vetonit formulations, suitable for rooms with high humidity levels, have their own subtleties in application:
- the solutions best fit on gypsum and drywall, as well as on aggloporite, expanded clay and other mineral surfaces;
- despite the fact that due to the small fraction the leveling is carried out as much as possible, it is undesirable to lay tiles on Vetonit (except for certain types of product);
- do not apply the mixture on surfaces previously treated with self-leveling compounds;
- It is recommended to seal the joints and seams between the slabs made of gypsum plasterboard fragments with special putties of the JS category, they are also used if the finishing, interior decoration of bathrooms, pools and saunas with tiles is required.
Mixtures can be applied not only manually, but also by a mechanized method. By spraying, the compounds can be used even for difficult substrates. So they perfectly cover wood and materials that differ in porosity.
An important condition - application should take place on a thoroughly cleaned and degreased surface
Leveling steps
Putty is applied either by spraying with special equipment or manually with spatulas of different sizes. For construction work, you will need a plastic container, a grinding and planer machine, rags, and a set of spatulas.
Workflow order:
- surface preparation consists in removing old wall coverings, paint, removing greasy stains, rinsing and drying the surface;
- then all the irregularities are indicated - the bulges are cut off, and the depressions are marked with chalk or pencil;
- grooves and cracks are sealed with a medium and long spatula, and as much mortar is taken on it as is needed for one movement;
- drying should be done in a natural way with closed windows and doors (except for interior doors);
- the final putty is applied in the thinnest layer, then, when it dries, it is passed with an abrasive and polished, additionally leveling the corners with a suitable spatula.
The consumption of the product is very economical - about 20 kg of material is needed for 20 square meters of area.
Subtleties of application
Surface. Before applying any finishing putty Vetonit, the work surface must be pre-leveled. Any defects must be covered or sanded down, the finishing solution is not designed to eliminate them. All excess dirt, dust, old finishes, mold must be cleaned. After that, you need to degrease and prime.
Vetonit putty is intended to be applied by hand, although it is possible to apply it by spray
After the applied layer has hardened (24 hours), pay attention to the places where the joints and seams used to be.Irregularities are often formed in these areas.
After finishing the putty work, it is better to immediately rinse the tools with water, after the solution has hardened, it will be much more difficult to do this.
When working, it is better to use protective equipment: goggles, mask or respirator. Although the Vetonit putty mixtures produced in Russia are made from natural raw materials and do not have a toxic effect, the dust formed during work can mechanically harm health, for example, if it gets into the eyes or lungs. For brands "KR" and "LR" it is better to use water with a temperature of about +10 C. If necessary, to obtain a particularly durable surface, use a special mesh.
This putty mixture has only positive reviews and is suitable even for difficult substrates. If you decide to repair or other construction, then feel free to choose it.

Peculiarities
Putty from the manufacturer Weber Vetonit is a building mixture widely used for finishing works. The material is suitable for dry rooms with low humidity. However, there are varieties of moisture-resistant building materials on sale.
It is one of the best finishing solutions today. Various types of composition are successfully used for wood, concrete, stone, as well as drywall. The dry mixture has a gray-white color, a weak specific odor, a fine fraction (no more than 0.5 mm), which makes it possible for optimal adhesion.
With the help of this material, you can successfully eliminate various defects (cracks, potholes, crevices). The putty is the finishing one. This means that after processing and drying the surfaces, you can start painting or wallpapering.
Restrictions to use, depending on the composition, are high humidity, as well as temperature conditions (+ 10 degrees inside the building). This is because the performance of the material may deteriorate. Moreover, it may start to turn yellow.
The Vetonit mixture, which has become popular, is produced by Russia. There are more than 200 branches of this international construction company known abroad.

The finishing putty combines two main components. It is a filler and binder. The first is sand, limestone, cement and even marble. A special glue made of polymer compounds is usually used as a connecting link. It is designed for better adhesion and deep penetration into the surface.
The consistency of Vetonit is of two types. You can purchase the material in the form of a dry powder for mortar or a liquid mass prepared for application.
Depending on the binder present, the polymer putty made of composite plastic, cement putty, and organic composition differ. A large assortment provides a lot of possibilities for interior decoration.
There are several varieties of Vetonit, differing in composition, properties and purpose:
- "Vetonit KR" is a mixture created taking into account the use in rooms with low humidity. The mixture is made on the basis of gypsum and cement on organic glue, after leveling, it must be covered with wallpaper or paint.
- Vetonit JS is a polymer putty for all types of substrates with high adhesion and crack resistance. It contains microfiber, which gives the material extra strength. Unlike other products, it is used for sealing joints.
- Vetonit JS Plus, a crack-resistant, plastic and durable polymer mixture, is used both under tiles and under gypsum.The composition is effective for processing joints.
