Advantages and disadvantages
Danogyps Shitrok putty ready-made superfinish 28kg 17l or other volume is in demand on the construction market for good reason. This is due to the many positive properties of the composition:
- The ready-made type is more convenient to use; there is no need to mix with water before use;
- Up to five cycles of defrosting and freezing are allowed;
- The plasticity is increased, so it is not difficult to apply the required layer thickness to the surface;
- After drying, simply sand the layer to achieve the desired degree of smoothness;
- The base uses marble material, which is durable;
- Danogypsum putty is distinguished by a white color, the degree of which is equal to 90% on the CieLAB scale, for this reason creating the required shade using a primer solution is not necessary.
Among the disadvantages, there is a relatively high cost for a bucket with a volume of 28 kg or 17 liters, but the resulting quality and ease of operation justifies the disadvantage.
The ready-made type is more convenient to use; there is no need to mix with water before use.
Practical use of Shitrok finishing materials
As mentioned earlier, the solution is produced in finished form; its liquid state is preserved by tightly closing the container and covering it with film on top. Therefore, if there is a solution left after the repair, then it should be stored in the same position.
The Shitrok finishing putty has a grayish color when opened, it should look smooth without impurities. If the product has been stored for a long time, the color may change to yellowish; this happens when the container is not properly closed. To apply the product, simply mix it well.

Technique for applying Sheetrock finishing coatings
The creation of the finishing layer occurs on a leveled base, without defects, after the grinding stage. When left in an open container for a long time, liquid is lost and the consistency becomes denser. It is possible to return the previous state, for this:
- First, simply mix the solution.
- Then stir the Shitrok, slowly adding clean water. Make portions of 30-40 grams, then leave the solution to stand for 10-15 minutes.
- Then they evaluate the product by putting it on a spatula and looking at its ability to stretch easily and create the required thickness on the surface.
The technology of work is similar to working with any similar finishing agents. Using a wide spatula, the product is distributed evenly over the wall; a thin layer of translucent appearance should be made. Drying of the 1st layer takes 3-4 hours, the final drying of all layers occurs after 24 hours.

Layer thickness and finishing options
The availability of a large amount of information about the possibility of using the solution for different purposes, and like Shitrok plaster, leads to the fact that beginners begin to use the finishing type to cover the surface with a thick layer. This significantly increases consumption and requires the purchase of a large volume of material.
Do not apply the product to a few millimeters, as this may lead to the formation of cracks on the wall. The first layers are selected other means intended for this purpose. If it is necessary to create such a layer, use fiberglass gluing.
It is advisable to apply three millimeters of putty when they are going to reproduce the antique style. To obtain the desired effect, installation must be done with paper designed for reinforcing plaster mixtures.

How to calculate consumption
Many buyers are concerned about the question of how to calculate consumption in order to buy the appropriate volume. It is worth noting that the solution weighs less than other putties. After all, the mixture shrinks low, so the waste on it is 10%. This allows a kilogram of putty to cover a square meter of area.
Thanks to the special texture, there is no overuse due to the mortar not sliding off the tool and the wall. To calculate the consumption, you need to know how much area will be puttied and multiply the figure with the average consumption indicated on the packaging. You can always make calculations using an online calculator.

Technical characteristics of universal putty (consumption per 1 m2, how long it takes to dry, etc.)
Shitrok's consumption per 1 m2 for walls and other technical characteristics help you decide whether to choose a specific material for processing your home. The composition instructions highlight the following properties:
- The filler is marble;
- The binders used are ethylene copolymer and vinyl acetate;
- The fractions are on average 60 microns;
- The thickness that is recommended to be applied to the wall is up to two millimeters;
- Whiteness level not less than 88%;
- Shitrok consumption per 1 m2 when creating a millimeter layer is equal to one liter;
- Density degree 1.60 g/cm3;
- Frost resistance up to 5 cycles;
- How long the layer will dry depends on the type of base, as well as the microclimatic conditions of the room. On drywall with a humidity level of 30%, a temperature of +20 degrees, with a layer of 0.25 mm, it will take two hours. On gypsum-based plaster with a humidity of 50%, temperatures from +15 and a layer of 0.8 mm, you will need to wait 15 hours;
- The permissible operating temperature is at least +13 degrees;
- Types of packaging: in liters - 17, 11, 3.5, in kilograms - 28, 18, 5.6.
Shitrok finishing putty consumption per 1 m2 can be calculated using the online calculator on the manufacturer’s website.

Scope of application
Sheetrock putty is used on large construction sites and in dry rooms to treat wall and ceiling surfaces. Thanks to its convenient consistency, the mixture adheres well and is easy to apply. If necessary, you can reduce the viscosity by simply adding a little water. Typically, the building material is applied to plaster, drywall, and other textures. In addition to continuous application, partial application is also used: sealing cracks, coating joints of plasterboard sheets.
If you apply a thin layer of the mixture to the walls and ceiling, and then perform high-quality grinding, the surface will become perfectly smooth without roughness or visible defects. Thus, Shitrok putty acts as a base for painting.
As for Sheetrock finishing putty, it has a high degree of adhesion. This guarantees that the dried layer will not fall off or crack even after a long time. The vinyl base guarantees high moisture resistance. The oil component controls the adhesion and elasticity of the material during operation.
Superfinish putty is even used to process metal corners that will be painted later. Concrete structures can also be finished with this putty.

How to prepare the solution for work
Sheetrock Superfinish putty is sold as a ready-made solution, but the composition should be thoroughly mixed before application to ensure uniformity after the product has been left in the bucket for a long time.
If the viscosity does not seem sufficient, then dilution with water is acceptable. But you cannot exceed the amount of 50-60 ml per liter of putty.

Do I need to level the surface before application?
Danogypsum Shitrok putty solution must be applied only to a completely dry base, where any remaining dust after sanding has been removed. Also, when creating a two-layer coating, you need to dry each layer.
The temperature in the room must exceed +13 degrees for optimal drying. Sanding work using sandpaper is carried out with material with a grain size of 240 or less.

Methods of applying the composition
The initial step before applying putty is to prepare the surface. Usually the material is applied in several layers. The plane needs to be leveled so that there are no sudden changes, and the old fraction must be removed. Then prime the base with special compounds. After which the bucket is opened and, according to the instructions, the contents are thoroughly mixed with a spatula. Next, you can begin work on applying Shitrok putty to the plane . When processing seams, the mixture is applied using a connecting tape onto which the material is pressed. There are 2 ways:
- Manually - using a spatula and available tools for working with the composition.
- Mechanical - carried out using a spray gun to spray the material over the surface.
After the first layer has dried (about 5 hours), the second can be applied. After some time, it is possible to grout with a fine abrasive mesh to remove minor stains and dust .
After the work is completed, do not throw the remaining putty down the drain, as this can lead to a blockage. And the tools involved in the process just need to be washed with running water, without soaking or scraping. The surface should be left for three days until completely dry. The material will shrink slightly. After this, you can glue wallpaper or apply paint.
The universal building composition Shitrok allows you to level surfaces made of different materials. The composition fills cracks and seams, making the base uniform and smooth. The material provides excellent adhesion to the plane, and its plasticity makes it possible to perform work quickly and efficiently.

Advantages and disadvantages
Putty of this brand has many advantages that facilitate the work process and guarantee high quality leveling of wall surfaces. There is no need to apply the mixture in a thick layer - this is a significant saving in material, and, accordingly, in finances. The maximum number of layers applied is 3-4.
Let us highlight the main advantages of the material:
- The putty is completely ready for use; there is no need to mix or calculate proportions.
- If necessary, the finished mixture can be diluted with water and used as a primer.
- The universal product is white, but there is a cream-colored putty that is ideal for painting.
- The shelf life of once opened packaging is several months. If you completely repeat the factory packaging method, the mixture will be stored for another 1 year after opening.
- The putty easily applies to any surface, completely hiding defects and cracks. Apply with a regular spatula or a special machine.
- The material does not shrink over a long period of time, so you don’t have to worry that cracks or chips will appear on the walls and ceiling in the next 5 years.
- The cost of building material is moderate. Branded products are not much more expensive than other analogues.
- The product is compatible with any other building materials. Often applied over primer or other types of putty or plaster.
- Thanks to the oily base, the material is consumed very economically. During the application process, a little of the substance falls on the floor, most of it remains on the spatula.
In addition, thanks to thoughtful packaging, the mixture can be stored for a long time without spoiling. Effectively copes with cracks and similar defects, making the surface perfectly smooth. There are practically no downsides to working with this type of finishing material. An ideal surface costs the money that the manufacturer asks for.
The only negative is the preparatory work that is necessary to apply the mixture. The surface must be clean, partially degreased and as level as possible. Such procedures must be carried out, otherwise the adhesion of the putty to the previously applied layers of plaster will deteriorate.

Advantages of Scheetrock putty
Scheetrock putties have many advantages. And below are just a few of the most basic ones.
- These putties can be used for their intended purpose immediately after opening the bucket (packaging). Thanks to this, a particular surface can be processed in the shortest possible time. This, by the way, is facilitated by the texture of these putties - it is smooth and oily. And in general, working with them is very easy - this is an excellent solution for beginners who are not too experienced in finishing and construction.
- Scheetrock putties are famous for their composition, worked out to the smallest detail. In particular, in order, on the one hand, to give the mixtures some volume, and on the other, to make them more durable after puttying, cellulose microfiber is added to them. And, let’s say elements such as attapulgite and pyrophyllite here give the effect of sliding on a dry surface (in some cases this is very important).
- These putties can be used in a wide range of temperatures and in rooms with almost any humidity. At the same time, they can easily interact with many other finishing materials without losing their original properties.
- Buyers also appreciate Scheetrock compounds for their relatively modest consumption.
