Hi thanks mate, I’m goi g to call imperial Italia in the Morning about booking the 3 days course but because of Covid I’m not sure if the courses will still be going ahead. I hear there isn’t much of a demand in England for Venetian to be taken out is that correct

Hi I’m not sure if you can help me but I thought I would ask here? I’ve been plastering 15 years have my own business but I am looking to take up Venetian plastering. I live in Oxfordshire and I am looking at taking up courses to learn Venetian. I’m looking at trying it in my own home before...

Why not you obviously you don’t really have a creative brain

It’s not cement it’s k-rend‍♂️

So plasterboard as normal the make sbr/slurrycoat then Krend over the top

I’m doing up my house and having k render as a feature wall. Can I k render on to plasterboard if sbr’d Or does it have to be render board

Thanks for your reply I’m going to call Webber today and see what they advise is the right way

I put no mesh in the sand and cement I only do it in k-render. The reason it cracked was the expansion of the top coat drying to quick. Just one of them things I guess no one fault. Just need to know what is best to put on the sand and cement for k render to go over the top

You can buy 10mm one coat render. You only one coat render on new block work etc.. also if use of one coat render it isn’t mandatory to put mesh in it even though it is advised to put it in but you don’t have to. I always do but just a little bit of info the for any one that didn’t know

Ok mate so when a large wall is separated with a expansion gap bead don’t do in 2 sections just do wall as whole? I would do it as a whole anyways but just checking if it was nessisary instead of staying later on the day
