Marshy , I don’t need to use f**k**g dye it still won’t match , Ive got the right colour now just by spending a bit of time and Andy the scratch coat is fine , never fell off in 30 years , f**k me there’s some moany old c**ts on here

I have the right shingle and I’m using sand and cement , I’m just trying to get the render colour as close as possible to the existing , little bit of time and effort

No idea , we didn’t do the original but I’ll find out Monday

I’ve done 6 test panels , I’ll check them Monday and see which is closest

Dab onto plugs , you may need a few more plugs depending if it’s curtain fixed or fully fixed

I’ll give it a go

Yep i will certainly do that , just thought i would ask the experts who actually use the stuff for some advice and hopefully get a quote to do the works , had 2 pm,s so thanks to them

weve done sand and cement render over bond it for years , even though it does not say for external use we have never had a problem

You can only advise what is right , if he wants to do it his way fine its his call , he is a builder after all , why should you lose a days money because the builder wont do it right ! . you can only do what your told to do , after all hes paying , if it does go bent , which to be honest it...

I thought that was him showing his stool and i diddnt like to mention it

Bang on mate , problem is most main contractors dont give a **** because they know that if your established , well run honest , decent paying company dont do it , some 10 to a room , no overheads , no hanging around to sort out problems type will

Think i would agree with lucius , does the render sound drummy , hollow . with the expermet sometimes the render sticks to the expemet and not the blockwork , causing it to be hollow and then over time it will move and crack , ive had the problem , it needs to be well fixed with no movement ...

a lot of the time the very fine hairline cracks will be lost when painted , if there bigger than hairlline i could be all sorts of reasons . not keen on wickes sand personally . Its harsh to blame the plasterer when there is fine cracks .

asking for trouble methinx , sand and cement , fully buttered up , lovely jubbly
