Hi all,
I am looking for a bit of advice when using ocr.
I have done quite a bit of tradition sand & cement in the past and now do mainly ewi thin coat systems.
I have a customer who need a the front of his house rendered on a budget so I have suggested using ocr as I understand it is a one coat system mirroring the traditional sand and cement finish which he can then paint.
Firstly am I correct in thinking ocr would be suitable for this ??
Secondly what is the best way to finish ocr?? I.e type of float / type of sponge??
I am thinking :
Fit 15mm beads
1st pass with mesh
2nd pass when still wet
Rule off with serrated straight edge
Float ( what type of float is best to use??)
Sponge finish
Advice would be very much appreciated
Thanks
