Hey Lads Ive an outside ive priced in Radcliffe, Manchester, its a sand and cement flat render with a k1 spray finish in white. Aprox 245 mtrs. I'm looking for anyone that can give me a lift with it and that is familiar with the spray application. I priced it on someones advice that did it,and...

in an ideal world mayti then yes,i agree..but unfortunately money depicts the outcome.as ive said below i think my options are s+c float with lime added,then a lime based skim finish.just a case of getting the right ratio to allow the walls to breath properly.

hi spanky i think my options are s+c float with lime added,then a lime based skim finish. can i ask why you would sbr the stone? i was just going to treat it like render to be honest,brush down the loose stuff,give the walls a good drink then apply?

hi Andy.. great looking machine,although youd have to justify the price with the output..its a fairly big outlay and youd really have to make it pay for itself.certainly makes the screed look spot on. i'll look into it some more(and keep the price away from the missus! cheers A

lime paist... mix a few handfulls of hydrated lime with a little water to make a paist at the end of your day..mix roughly half a cup per bag of finish(try on a small gauge first to get the feel of it) makes the mix slightly more fatty and gives you longer setting time.. if your skimming over...
