Nice one thanks all

Haha cheers back to good old eml then

Like breather membrane? Never seen that done before any idea why you’d use it and not just eml? Cheers

Cheers. Not done much of this for about 15 years and back then I’d always bang some EML on before starting, the mesh looks decent tho assuming I can bed it into the scratch coat

Hi, got to s&c render a wall where wall starters have been used to tie new block work into existing brick, so there’s a vertical mortar join all the way down. Also gotta float the other side of the same wall with bonding which has the same join. Was planning on using some of that plastic/fibre...

Thanks guys yeah I’ve got stainless ones, seen the screwfix ones but gone for the 13mm stainless stop beads, that’s gotta be what people normally use? Was just worried it would make my coats too thin but say 7mm scratch 6mm top I should be ok? Cheers again

Hi Sorry probably a silly question but I’ve got a small area to render, done a few bits before but only with angle beads never needed a stop bead. Need a stop bead to go up the wall for this one (goes from block to brick), now I’m planning on going about 20mm thick 2 coat S&C, but I’ve come...

I only do it to avoid seeing board join shadows after its been painted, occasionally had an issue with it, maybe it's something else I'm doing wrong tho :ROFLMAO:

I always do and assume everyone else does too unless I'm missing something

Cheers yeah that's what I do assuming you mean using the first mix for it. Do you do the same with all the beaded externals? I fix the beads too at that point which is probably a bit lazy and should do it before

Lovely, thanks spot on.

Hi Had a few issues over the years with occasionally seeing board joins and also sometimes it being thick around beads so doesn't come out quite right, question is how long before can you dub out angles/fill board joins as I've only ever done it with the main gauge and skimmed over straight...

Cheers :birra:

Cheers never used one-coat as heard it doesn't trowel up nice like board/multi but could give it a go :rolleyes: any tips for getting a good finish with it, think I remember being told you have to sponge it and trowel the fat but I may have just made that up

How thin could you go doing it that way beader? Literally just covering the eml with the pattern still showing then skim it?

Good idea thanks, might eml it then to be safe

Cheers for the replies, yes you'd have thought moving the hatch is the way to go but long story and basically nowhere else it can go it's one of those big wooden ladder jobbies and now it's in its in ;) I'll go with a nice thin coat of bonding I reckon Cheers:D Sam

Hi, got to do a very thin coat on a blockwork wall as there's a loft hatch which is too close to the wall and basically fouls the wall when it opens, was planning on just doing a tight coat of bonding like 5mm (can't even dab a 9mm board as that's too thick) just wondered if anyone's got any...
