    Hi mate, he seems alot better in him self, he's actually had a couple of driving tests but failed them, he's got it booked again though, the mother hasn't said anything else to me about him so I'm guessing he's good, he's been with me a few times to work and going out and about more, he takes...

    New k rend

    Have you asked the person that rendered it ? It's alright saying dry spell, it will need to be dry for a fair few consecutive days for it to dry back out, plus its not warm temps, if its does eventually dry out I'd seal it

    Krend

    It can be painted, you could also prime and thin coat over it all.

    Micro gobetis 3000

    I'm worried it won't work as well as the areas he's put on neat.

    Micro gobetis 3000

    Mono on painted brick and 2 year old exposed blocks

    I think it's the micro gobetis they used, they used it at the front of the house on the same paint, straight onto it no basecoat, been on 2 year almost and is sound

    Mono on painted brick and 2 year old exposed blocks

    Got a render job coming up, half painted brick and half block work that's about 2 year old, a gang of renderes did the front and 2 gables and they used some kind of red paint on the painted brick, any one know what it could be ?

    Base coat finish

    Heard people say treat it like mono and I bar it back but I didn't have enough to do it that way

    Base coat finish

    When I spatted it I didn't think it looked flat enough for my liking, just kept leaving lines, but then again I don't know how well tc covers any imperfections etc, so just ended up sponge floating it, he'd got some white base coat but realised he wouldn't have enough so orderd more but they...

    Base coat finish

    I knew they did a 1mm but didn't realise that .5 of a mm would make much difference

    Good job it's 1.5 then haha

    Base coat finish

    Ah sound, I should be ok then haha

    Base coat finish

    Around 40sm I sprayed a good 30sm but he didn't order enough so couldn't do 1 side (around 10sm) which is the side we hand balled on

    Base coat finish

    Normal float ? Like you use for s+c ? It was fassa a96 I was using, things like chewing gum when hand applying
  26. L

    Base coat finish

    Always got the impression it has to be cock on, does thin coat cover more s**t then you think ? Always thought with it being put ok that thin it will show everything

    Base coat finish

    Marvellous, thanks, I guessed it was leaving it too long, had formed a skin, some areas I wet with spray bottle then spatted but still wasn't happy with it.

    Base coat finish

    First time doing tc, got base coat on but it was tearing and dragging when spatting, can you leave it with a sponge float finish? It's for a mate, warned him several times I havnt done it before haha he's not bothered and wanted me to do it

    I'm not entirely sure, he's at Dr's on Monday to speak to a mental health nurse, I just hope he tells her everything.

    I can't let him know I know, mother would hit the roof, he's told her not to tell anyone, if he knew I know he wouldn't trust her again.

    He doesn't know I know as he doesn't want anyone to know, no he doesn't have a girlfriend.

    This sounds like him, he's admitted he's wasted 5 years sat in his room playing his game, mothers absolutely nackerd and feels awful she can't tell my old man, he's old school and says things how they are straight up blunt, which is why he doesn't want him to know.

    There's a place not far from us that's a popular dog walking place, almost like a forest with a waterfall and a cafe, he likes it there, so been going as often as he can but he doesn't drive, (currently doing his lessons)

    Mental health and depression

    Cheers buddy, He hasn't got any routine as he doesn't work, doesn't see his mates really as they've all turned into druggies, I think he could have autism or bi polar, he's at the quacks in Thursday so hopefully they help him.

    He's been asking my mum when will he be seeing a doctor, he knows he needs help.

    Mental health and depression

    He's started to get out more to be fair, he even admits he needs to get out, so I think he is slowly getting out of his routine, he's always been a shy kid so I don't think that helps, also think he's work shy like I said he's been spoilt and had everything bought for him all his life so he...

    Render boards!!

    Apparently it can go straight onto Insulation boards, no base coat so can't see why it won't but I'll check with them just to be safe like you say.
