My wall is made of concrete: how can I repair it?
This more fragile wall material requires more extensive repair work. If the crack is shallow and shallow, you can plug the hole in the wall by equipping you with the tools that are indispensable for this action. The putty, which you can easily find in DIY stores, can seal the space and make it disappear if the width is not very high. The shaving or finishing smoothes the wall before painting or covering it. To facilitate the gesture you can use a spatula. It is important to respect the drying times indicated on the package.

What shapes of coating are available?
There are several types of coatings available on the market to effectively seal a gap in a wall. When a wall starts to break, you can choose the powder or the paste. The first is suitable for larger cracks, while the second has the advantage of having a longer duration and being ready to use. Instead, it acts sporadically against superficial cracks. If you have a layer of powder, carefully read the package to find out how much water you should mix this DIY product with. Then it will have to be poured into an average container to mix it. The preparation must be smooth and homogeneous. The final touch is to work the spatula in this liquid and seal the slit. Remove the excess with the tool and just let it dry. When your coating is ready to use, it will be easier for you to repair the opening cracks. Whether vertical or horizontal, these holes should be filled with the coating that requires no prior preparation. Apply this clay product on a spatula that you will spread over a surface that extends beyond the grooves. Make sure that the liquid fills the liquid by several times the tool. Once dry, it will be necessary to sand to remove the residues and give time to the dough to dry. After these actions, the wall will be sealed again and the potential damage resulting from the small fissure will be eliminated!
