Try ruling off your krend then rub it up like you would normal render with a float. This makes the krend really flat and so much easier to texture rub next day and you get less misses. Also it looks much better when the sun hits it at an angle and you don't get rub lines in it from high/ low spots

Use waterproofer in scratch coat and only use plastering sand. Top coat, put 1 shovelfull of building sand in mixer load, anymore and mix integrity will be compromised. Damped stones and definitely get a dashing paddle. Lay on about 15mm depth and Don't throw stones to hard in as this will...

No, use bonding, much, much better.

ok inside fire place, pva all bare brickwork, scratch coat with 3 and 1 sand and cement scratch coat with fibre strands and strong sbr addative added, top coat overlay with with 3 / 1 sand and cement top coat with alkaline resistant crack mesh in and rub up, or if u want a smoothfinish plaster...

Multi-finish. Multi-finish has a retarder in it, much like syriphite plaster of old used to go over sand and cement. Board finish is much coarser than either carlite or multi-finish, it blacks after 90 minutes as where multi turns after 90 minutes but blacks in about 2 hours. Multi finish is...

No problem, just tell me which material you are using that keeps stiffening up? Usually in cold weather materials hang longer... however, we had a problem only last year with multi picking up very quickly in the winter. We contacted British Gypsum who sent a rep out and we found that it was the...

Applications for cost cutting: SBR render- always use. Wash sand - for the scratch coat use fibre strands usually used with screed applications in with mix with SBR applicion. You can use K-rend overlaid to the scratch coat or traditional render coat using only washed sand no strands SBR and...

Available anytime for emails will respond within 1-3 days. Not computer literate, but if you give me a specific problem you encounter I can work you through it, either on here or through email or even by mobile, per request.

Having done K-rend and Jub we found both very easy to deal with even on the first time of using. If you have a good knowledge and are a confident trade plasterer you should have no problem transfering from traditional render to the new coloured renders. Good traditional render is actually quite...

SBR is an excellent idea I have been using this product for over 20 years, you can go down to 10mm thick. If you go down to anything below 20mm you have to use some washed rendering sand with it. Laten Buzzard is the best by far. For this: Completely soak substrate floor then apply water and SBR...

dubbing out over artex: either put a tight coat of bonding over your artex ceiling first as this will pick up and go off fairly quickly OR place some bonding in your multi-finish on the first coat then lay down the ceiling with neat multi then a third application of multi overlaid and the...
