Very often those who are trying to make an arch or create a bizarre shape on the ceiling at home, I don’t know how to bend drywall. But it’s not as difficult as you think. Drywall has a different thickness. The thinner and less the bending radius, the more easy it is to bend it. To create a small arch, it is not always profitable to buy a whole sheet of drywall. If possible, it is better to purchase the desired strip in size.
The best way to bend drywall, you need to make cuts on the back. First, draw lines on drywall at a distance of 3-5 cm and cut with a knife to a depth of one third. Then you just need to bend the sheet along. The advantage of this method of bending is that it is applicable to very small radii (for example, columns, fireplaces, etc. D.). Another method is to give a drywall moisture and give it the desired shape that will remain after the leaf dries.
To perform this work, you need to have a special roller, brush and water. It is recommended to use this method for bending only green (waterproof) drywall. Use the video and make small punctures on the back of the drywall. Soak the sheet in water using the brush-do the procedure several times with an interval of 5-10 minutes, and then go to bending, giving the sheet the desired shape. After drying, gypsum will remain in the form that you gave him.
