I'm gutted.
I rendered a large area in S&C and then used bluegrit.
Thought I'd try Extratime in the multifinish due to the size of the plastering.
The product was in date (expires 2023). Purchased from Travis Perkins. 1 Packet added to 12L of water. Thoroughly mixed before adding to 25kg bag of...
I've got a small window that has a wooden lintel.
I know most of you guys will say to fix plasterboard to it then skim, but how was it done with S&C render in the old days?
I'm guessing it was by nailing EML onto it then rendering?
if not, was a better way of getting a perfectly level finish?
I...
I know most people say to read the instructions or just throw in a cap full of febmix but I would like to know what the actual amount should be.
The instructions give 2 ways of calculating it.
1) 125ml-250ml Febmix : 50Kg cement
2) 1L Febmix : 200 litres water
As most people use 14L buckets...
I have an area to internal render that's too large for me to do in one go.
Could I just U nail brick reinforcing mesh vertically down the center of the wall with a wood baton screwed down the middle of it.
Then render up and onto one side of the mesh, butting it up against the baton.
Next day...
interior rendering a large area about 10-15mm thick 4:1.
don't wanna order too little or way too much.
any ideas roughly how many m2 from a jumbo bag?
thanks.
BTW do you bother using plastering sand and use sharp instead?
I've managed to get small internal walls perfectly level before by fixing a piece of unistrut on either side, then applying bonding with a straight edge, followed by multifinish.
Unfortunately, the next wall is very large and a weird shape.
I found this foreign kit, but it's very expensive...
Any recommendations for rendering mesh?
Never used before and seen various makes starting from 140g/m2
Just want it in a thin internal wall render, then multifinish
It's taken me months of my spare time to remove all of the old plaster from the stairway, and now its time to start plastering each of the different surfaces.
The first is an internal wall made of chalk 'breeze blocks' that have straw cast inside.
The wall is really uneven, so I was going to...
As I walk up my stairs, the wall on the left is an external one that is always in the shade.
The plaster was shot and mold kept returning due to the constant cold.
After removing the old plaster, I found that the cement between the bricks was 99% sand and so I have removed it all and repointed...
