Spanish term or phrase: consolidación de soportes
Hi Kudozers,

Some help with this term would be appreciated. It's from a brochure about lime mortar for whitewashing walls, this particular product is the 'adhesive? base lime mortar' (Mortero de cal en polvo base agarre) and its description says the following:

Se ejecuta como primera capa de regularización y ****consolidación de soportes****, así como para igualar tensiones mecánicas entre distintos tipos de paramentos.

...as a levelling coat and to consolidate ??. - What does "soportes" refer to here?

TIA.

filling in and covering the entire supporting layer


Explanation:
The supporting layer can be a galvanized metal, or plastic screen among other things, such as burlap, building paper and asphalt felt. It varies from region to region depending on moisture conditions.

'The mortar has to come into contact with the entire area of the underlying support material and , in the case of mesh, the mortar has to penetrate the entire mesh.

The only requirement of a consolidant is to reduce the rate of decay of the stone surface and the most successful treatments are those which least alter the ... The ideal polymer for use in stone consolidation would be one that can reverse the degradation of a stone, returning it as nearly as possible to its original condition.

just about to supply another references saying what these "soportes" are..
