Hello everyone,

I am new here and have a question that has been on my mind.

I would like to plaster, smooth, and paint white the walls in my 4-room apartment.
I was told that the best product to use for this is Uniflott, and practically I would need 2 bags per room at 40€ each.
My question now is, is that correct? Or is Uniflott only for plastering certain things and not for all walls?!

The other question is about painting: Is it allowed to mix the primer directly with the paint?!

Regards

I have now filled with uniflott and Ardex 828. I find Ardex somewhat better because it can be easily reworked and sanded well.

Which primer do you want to mix with paint?

You can mix the primer with a sip of paint, yes. Then it is white and no longer blue, and that already gives you a kind of "undercoat" so that your actual paint might cover better. It was done that way with us too.

No, he means to throw the entire primer into the paint bucket and mix it and then paint the whole apartment with it. Normally you would have to apply the primer separately, right?! He says it saves time. Best regards

No, that doesn't help. The primer is supposed to prepare the surface so that it absorbs evenly. But that only works in several steps. Theoretically, you can skip the primer; then you just have to apply one more coat. Since primer is usually cheaper than paint, you haven't saved anything. So you never save time. Usually not money either if you skip the primer.

Thanks for the info. Do you know how it is with Uniflott?! Can you use Uniflott to plaster entire walls or do you rather use other materials for that? Regards
