Just finished putting on the Limelite Rnovating Plaster and probably going to use Limelite High Impact Finish.
Been reading some horror stories about the application - any experience on here about applying….Tips, do's don'ts etc
Much appreciated for all feedback :)
Thanks for everybody's help - much appreciated.
I've finished the slurry aspect (including fillet with FebTank Plug) and about to use Limelite Renovating Plaster. Reading the spec on it, it is expected to shrink a little and also to crack due to the lime content (manufacturers data). They say...
Is that based upon the cost saving - using s/c or other reason?
I think the waterproofer I have in the van is the Everbuild Concentrate (that has salt inhibitor in it).
Just completing tanking coats and looking to overcoat render. Have used Everbuild Febtank.
Their data sheet states Renovating Plaster OR Cement Based Render:
SUBSEQUENT OVERCOATING: FEBTANK SUPER is suitable for overcoating once correctly and thoroughly cured.
Plaster: If plaster is to be used...
Stupid question maybe, but going to ask anyway.
Just doing the K11 tanking and rather than using their sulphate resistant ready render (£'s), I'm using the alternative sand/cement 4:1 with SBR 1:4 BUT can I use Blue Circle General Purpose Cement or must it be Portland OPC?
RICS surveyor took measurements - I had take 'basic' relative readings with a non specialised damp meter to get 'relative' readings to good dry wall/surface.
The water is a combination of rising and penetrating damp. The penetrating damp has been fixed but obviously the rising damp cannot be...
Re Seanlar….. So basically you used the fat lime to allow the wall to breath, so any damp in wall simply evaporates/breath naturally.
I don;t follow the second part of your message - wrt nil 3.5?
Re DJM68….
In my original posting (ignore typos), what's stopping me not hacking of back to stone? The current cement render is damp, if I hack back to the original stone, it'll be damp undoubtedly.
The rendering is to the floor. The damp readings increase as you go up the wall from the floor to a distance of approx 0.5 m
The floor is dry and the wall is dry up until the floor DPM stops (approximately 2 inches), so in summary I suspect that the damp below the floor is barriered by the DPM...
