I agree the thin coat does look goodThin coat is good s**t to be fair and outdoes sand and cement. I've been using it for about 8 years and I've never had any problems with it at all. The finish is consistent, very crack resistant and will never need painting. The jobs I've done still look good years later when I see them. If they pick up any dirt they can be pressure washed with a light detergent to bring them back to looking new.
It's extremely resilient and doesn't go patchy when it rains like mono (unsealed).
I scratch with wavey lines somtime
I was told that a wavey line is longer than a straight line!!!!
Which means more key
Nice job always good to see..
Forget change, free bus pass to look forward to instead
I'm 33, and feel the same!!I'm 60 as you a bit to long in the tooth to want to change now, find I don't understand the materials that are mentioned half the time.

More key means less stress?The wavey line is supposed to stop stress in the render when it's drying out so alleviating any cracking.
What do you use to rule off the render?View attachment 14255 View attachment 14256 View attachment 14257 I'm still a S&C man, i keep saying I should look into these knew products , but Being closer to 60 than 50, hey getting a bit long in the tooth.

What was going on with that substrate @Badgerrrrrrr

Just a standered 1200 feather edge.
Worked on Wimpey No Fines houses years ago ,it was in the spec that you scratched it wavey in vertical lines, so any rain ran off it
What's a "no fines" house malc?no fines housing and flats, we rendered them for wimpy and john mowlem. the first hundred units would be ok then the shuttering got damaged leaving some bad areas. the ones we done were always dashed.

Jheeze always interesting. Your knowledge in these things is amazingno fines was a dry concrete mix, wimpy and john mowlem was the main builders of this system. this is a 60s system, condensation problems today. the flats that were built in this method in ipswich have now been pulled down.
trad oversite, then crane the shuttering of say of a block of 6 onto the oversite. blocks of polystyrene placed for doors and windows and areas to take first floor joists. concrete lintels in place, pour the concrete for all 6 properties all in one day. a fast method of building. on flats you would pour 1 floor at a time, with concrete slabs for floors.
render and dash external, float and set internal in carlite lightweight plaster. fit a thin piece of polystyrene to the lintels, just skim to marry up to plastered walls.
