Hi Guys,
I have hit a problem, my plasterer/renderer has fallen ill. looks like a few weeks and this job cant wait.
The scratch coat is done and I need about 3 days of 2 guys (I will provide labour) to do the top coat. one wall is 15m long, so straight is the key and i need guys who know what...
Hi Guys, in case anyone is interested all is going well. over 22m of wall done in this way so far - scratch coat seems really strong. top coat later this week.
300mm centers on timber - roofing felt then eml.
base coat on mesh, then scratch coat at 3.5:1 with SBR
top coat will be 4:1:1(lime)

impregnated with tar
standard without the tar in it...

Hi all,
I know this post was a long time ago but it exactly relates to my project.
We need to render a stud wall. it is an internal wall of a swimming pool building.
The stud work is not yet built so i have the option of any separation deemed necessary. However I am limited on thickness...
