Hi All. Has anyone had any experience using the Atika compact 100 mixer? If so, what do you think about it? Thanks

Hi mate. No, it's not painted

Hi All. Been asked to K-rend K1 a bungalow over pebbledash. The pebble dash is as solid as granite. Was just wondering if anyone has experience doing this? Can you just do two passes of K1? or is it worth giving it a scratch with a base coat? Cheers

Yes it does work! Worth putting half bucket of pit sand in with it to make it less of an arm breaker.

Hi all. As the title suggest would like to know if you prime Multi-rend boards before rendering (K-Rend Base coat). Any advice on preparing other carrier boards would be helpful too. Cheers

So it's like sand and cement. Very fine aggregate that is dusty as xxxx when you mix it !! Finished with float and sponge..but ended going over it with limelite high impact finish as it looked to industrial. Coverage was s**t. Overall don't bother with it !

Hi all. Has anyone got any experience with Izonil breathable one coat plaster. Just want to know what sort of finish you can get with it. It says you can get a high quality finish but been looking online and it looks more like a sponge finish. Be good to know if I can get any sort of smooth...

Well had a pop at it! Went okay. Learnt a lot!! Used Achtis politura with matt sealer. The customer went for the lamiest colour..so I think I am responsible for the blandest micro-cement award :)

Evening all. Been offered the chance to do a 30sqm floor at a mate's house with KCberry microcement traffic. He is well aware that I have never used it but seems to have faith in me!! Got my head around basecoats but can't find any info on technique for top coat. Do you need to keep a wet...
