At the dacha, water is needed for household needs in huge quantities. Most of it goes to watering the plants. Accordingly, to store precious H2O, it is necessary to have suitable containers at your disposal. Most often, citizens use metal barrels. They have one serious drawback - they rust. This means that you need to think about how to protect the barrel.
What you need: cement, dish scraper, paint brush
So, before taking on the "painting" of the barrel, it must be brought into proper condition. We are talking, of course, about cleaning the bottom and walls from rust. A suitable grinding tool can help us here. Any dirt that may interfere with painting should also be removed. There is no need to clean the walls of the barrel to a mirror-like shine; it is enough to make sure that when you pass your hand, no plaque remains on your fingers.
Before painting, the barrel must be rinsed with water. She also needs to be allowed to dry out for a while. During this time, the required amount of cement mortar should be prepared. The composition is mixed with water and brought to the state of sour cream. As soon as the barrel is dry, a brush is taken and the main part of the work begins - applying cement to the bottom and inner walls of the water tank. It should be remembered that in order for the solution not to exfoliate later, it is necessary to maintain a high level of humidity. And for this, the barrel must be on damp ground all the time.
When the cement is applied, you need to give it time to set. For this, the "painted" container is turned upside down. In this position, the keg should be left reconciled for a day. After finishing the work, do not forget to thoroughly wash the brush and the working container from the cement in water. The next day, the procedure with covering the walls with cement should be repeated again, thus making a second layer. After that, the barrel is left for another day. Then the third layer is also made.
