I went to meet a chap today to look at a damp job. Plan is as follows
•Hack off damp plaster
• tank walls using ka tanking
• next day sbr tanking and float using bonding coat or hardwall?
•skim

This is what he suggested float over tanking using gypsum based plaster? Anyone else done this? I've emailed ka tanking to check it's ok just wanted to know if anyone done this.
Cheers gents.
 
Never myself. Always s&c. And maybe I'm wrong but would never dreamed of doing it like that.
Since 'he' suggested it, could you tell us who 'he' is?
A client?

He deals with the small works for local builder, site agent project manager type of guy. Like you I was sceptical with the approach but just wanted to know if anyone else done it this way?
 
I'd say he's guessing

You could well be right, hopefully ka tanking will get back to me tomorrow. In the meantime just thought I'd put it out there and see what you all thought?
 
Stick to tried and tested if I were you as will be your neck on the line if it goes wrong?
 
Yep am with everyone else on this one , I'd never dream of sticking bg anywhere near somewhere it will draw in the moisture,let us know what ka say tho.

So it's ok to do it!
 
My dad always used to say, 'the better the clothes they wear, the less they know about the job'
Generalising of course, but it's a fair statement!

Well I'm going to crack on, the job is in an occupied house. So I can't be mixing up render outside on the driveway then bringing it in, easier to whisk up some bonding. I've got the emails and my arse is covered.
