Hi guys, Got a client who dosent want to mesh over existing teraline render but its cracked in a few places, is it feasible to repair, and any one repaired on teraline before, all advice welcome.

Thanks for the advice again fella's, guess i'll tape up and reskim once the floors totally dry.

i've had a good few jobs from this site, its a case of picking wisely, someone who puts a 'no idear of budjet' then dismiss straightaway, they do give free links sometimes, worth waiting for.

Though that may have been it, how long would you recommed leaving the render before skimming for future referance?

i used an sbr slurry onto a backing coat, i rendered it about 24 hours later, however airblowers were used after as there was a burst pipe onto the floor could this be my problem?

Hi fellas, Need to grab some experience again, i've rendered up a wall using sbr as specified by a client, on 1:4 mix, i wetted up the wall before i pinked it but now theres very small hairline cracks appearing? I've not had this happen on using normal add mixtures any one come across this...

Many thanks for the advice guys, think i may have to go with the a tight eml mest effort, as the time frame is tight,or the rendaid, which i'm going to look into right now, does the grand wizard know what suppliers stock the product? As always heaps of advice fellas, proper good. Regards Barry.

Hey chaps, Need to call on your vast experience again, i've been asked to render over teraline, its been painted in the past. A older chap suggested a slurry SBR painted on first to give it plenty of stick, or should i just sheet mesh first to avoid a drama. I look forward to getting some...

Sorted it fellas, there we're two differnt mixe's on the ceiling from the previous homeowners, so i did a gradual blend in to match the 2, job done. Thanks for the tips.

Cheers for the tips lads, got a nice big brush to do the trick, i'll let you know how it goes, i tried the nice smooth ceiling option, but the lady likes artex yuk

hey, I'm working in epping at the moment, complete with digs, i'm charging the client £150 per day for 8hrs (3 mix's plus setup/takedown) work,not including the digs and a meal, thats minimum, chelsea i reakon you could up the price a bit. Hope this helps Barry

Hey fellas, I've got a small artex blend into do next week, the artex pattern is circular with a lil bit of nobbles in the centre, is there a tool for this or is it a brush or some discription,and is the artex rolled on or troweled on? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Yours Barry

Hey Fello Muck Spreaders, I've been in the game quite a few years now and have done a lot of lime and horsehair/damproofing and modern gypsum plastering, i've made afew mistakes as have we all, but always sorted them out, mostly domestic houses and a bit of site work. I'm glad to find a good...
