However, keep in mind that diatomaceous earth does not move when the surrounding material moves, which can lead to small cracks. In that case, you have to fill in several stages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is diatomaceous earth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiatomaceous earth, or diatomite, is a greyish-white powdery soil type, consisting mainly of silicon dioxide. It has formed through the sedimentation of diatoms and is abundant worldwide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFill unevenness in the substrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf the surface is very uneven, you can mix 200 g of diatomaceous earth into the primer to fill out the unevenness better. Sand the surface after the primer has oxidized. Use 100 g of diatomaceous earth in bag ceiling paint and 200 g for a render feel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiller\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiatomaceous earth can also be mixed into the finished paint to create a filler that can be used for smaller holes and cracks, not as a substitute for filler between building boards, as this filler is not very elastic and can crack with small movements of the substrate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to do it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Mix a small amount of primer or take a small part of the already pre-mixed primer and add diatomaceous earth until you get a good filler consistency. If it becomes a little too dry, you can add a little more primer. After filling smaller holes, you can smooth the filler with a finger dipped in water, so the surface becomes smooth and you can paint directly over with the primer. Otherwise, you can let it dry and then sand it to get an even surface and then paint over with the primer. Try to make the filled surface as even as possible from the start, as the filler becomes very hard when dry, which makes it difficult to sand down if there is a lot. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you put up entire lengths of lining paper edge to edge, you can paint the joints with primer in a bag with filler (diatomaceous earth) and smooth with a wet finger, and then paint the entire surface with primer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allmoge byggnadsvård","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56994656256377,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1058\/6745\/files\/kiselgur.jpg?v=1775667628","url":"https:\/\/www.allmogebyggnadsvard.fi\/en\/products\/kiselgur","provider":"Allmoge byggnadsvård","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
