One, is the algae powder applied by brushing or spraying?

Silicone-based paint spraying involves applying silicone-based paint in a fine mist using a sprayer, coating the wall surface. This method achieves a finish that is closer to traditional latex paint, providing excellent smoothness.

Spraying diatomaceous mud can create uneven surfaces, suitable for certain decorative applications such as back walls and entrances. The resulting aesthetic is modern, but a major issue during spraying is the generation of fine paint mist and the evaporation of solvents, leading to wasted paint and economic losses.

Scraping, similar to roll coating, involves applying a small amount of coating onto a roller and then gently and evenly rolling it across the surface, moving up and down in a straight line to avoid uneven or erratic patterns. This ensures consistent coating thickness, color, and texture. However, scraping is a time-consuming process and requires higher precision for intricate designs, resulting in higher costs.

Additionally, the application method for diatomaceous mud involves applying the material using a specialized trowel, resulting in the formation of irregular, small particles of diatomaceous mud, which are then applied to the wall surface. This method provides a better decorative effect and allows for the creation of a three-dimensional appearance.

Two. Which construction process is better for diatomaceous mud?

From a technical difficulty perspective, when using automated spraying equipment, the construction process can typically be mastered in a few days. However, applying ready-mixed putty paste falls under the category of wall art, requiring construction personnel to spend a significant amount of time practicing and mastering the technique. Similarly, manual application of putty paste also requires extensive practice.

According to the quotation, the labor cost for applying silicone-based putty powder by hand will be higher than that for spraying, while the function and quality of applying silicone-based putty powder by hand will not be compromised, and the price will be significantly lower.
