Evening all I have a small krend job first time with texture finish for me can anyone give me some rough setting times for k1 spray over 6mm hp12 doing it next week and does it make any difference if lay on next day or is it the same setting times even laying k1 on days later ?????

I would give the lath a spary with water but not soak, as they will be really dry and this will help prevent cracking

I always try and close in my bonding with the trowel to save as much reaction when skimming up, just a little tip, good luck jim

Hav u tried the bostick primer stabilizer?????, I think it's the best grit out them all but as always comes at a price.

I would cut the plaster away so I cut tape up the joint properly and then patch.

Did I read u say u could put some sbr on the scratch coat before floating up to help suction, if so can u prime and tacky coat ?????

Thanks for the tip with the sbr is 50/50 dilution ok ????

5 to 1 with waterproofer

I never seen anything like it , thanks for the advice water it is then

My float coat will consist of lime and plasterciser and the other the 2 binders s& c, would anyone add a retarder of any sort or just keep soaking?????

20 pounds a tub for exterior bondit

perfect no problems so far, floated it up today

I agree I found out for myself lol

used it today danny, found it was better once the morter had stiffened up on the wall.

I agree not that good for sand & cement work although it does state they are oh well, I know lol

a bought a 1200, 600 and a 450

I've bought some ox skimspeed rules to give it a go on sand cement render work

has any one used the skimspeed rules, I bought the ox skimspeed with plastic blade thinking did both skim and render but I since realised otherwise, is there much difference in the blades???? and are the rules good for k rend too

I'll take some pics and post them mate

I think it should be enough for this job

u reckon bad idea danny???

this one

thanks for all advice guys but I've decided on a slight u turn, I'm gonna use bondit instead in these temperatures might be ready to scratch in the afternoon, it should seal and key at the same time perfect

Cheers Thanks will try him

Is there anyone near to the chester area or willing to travel as I'll cover fuel costs to finish off a job with tc 15 krend,

Cheers for the offer Rigsby but ye it is a bit far mate , I'll have to find someone on here that are closer to me to finish it and get a few tips at the same time

I thought it wouldn't be to much harder than sand and cement but obviously it's a different ball game I had a friend with me who has used the hpx before but it is a different system I guess

Uniformed I'd say but thinking on,if u can go over it, maybe someone on here might be interested in the job, worth a try maybe

No mate first time with these, it look very crevice gutted cost me a to do, it seemed to go stiffer at different areas found it crap to use but obviously my lack of experience with it
