What could bleed through from substrate?? 2 of them are just circles and te last one is a shape that looks like the shape of a rubber duck!!! Strange!!

I know you saying mate but no. The skin dries bit lighter and shiny. This looks more like damp

If it is what u say can I fix it?

Yes 3 darker patches and was Parex so just used microgobetis and then sprayed over the top of that??

Yes see what you saying but would expect Thai to be in alot more places across the wall it is just 3 random spots....cheers anyways

Completed a scratch render job back in October. Got a call back to say 3 areas constantly look Wet/ stained. Had a look today there are 3 areas around the size of a football that look wet but he said constantly looks like that and never dries out. At first sight it looks like damp but not sure...

Think it may be a combination of as u say the scaff too close and the 2 main times its happened it was both a freaky red hot day. I'm thinking if that hot again to do smaller bands to beat the join??

Just what I considered ???

Ritmo mate and yes rigsby its roughcast but can't avoid a change in colour where scaffold is

I can't seem to spray a textured/tyrolean finish with parex without getting a big join line along the scaffold. I know if you spray over sections after it gets a skin on then its a different shade straight away. I'm guessing by the time I do the elevation and drop down the skin has already...

Hi, anyone advise what is best to use for speed and effectiveness for masking windows? Also, what is best to cover down pipes etc? Been using plastic sheeting but when the render sticks to it it gets heavy and peels off or is too loose to spray behind pipes. Any help? Cheers

Yes mate it's defs e grade with a clampable stator. Only used it once like but was torture and out me off it a little. It is likely to be my inexperience like so hopeful I can get it running k rend a dream!!

Not that I know of??? Using the clampable stator at the moment. Must admit only used it for 1 k rend job the rest been other products and runs a dream. Might see if I can get a few bags on the cheap and have a play about with it to get it right ..

Hi, can microgobetis be used with other monocouch renders like k rend and weber? If not do k rend or weber spec there own bonding agent. New to rendering and noticed lads here aren't using basecoats but just using a bonding agent or sbr and putting topcoat straight on. I've been using basecoat...

Gibbo are they called mushroom fixings in builders yard? How often do you use basecoats same as Keith 1 out of 10 jobs?

Ok thanks for all advice it safe to say I'm now scared! Might swerve it.

do weber push you to use basecoats keith like k rend do? all they seem to say to me is base base base. but parex say most of time i can just use microgobetis. what do weber spec most of time on the likes of house brick?

do i base, then mesh, then base again and fix or do i mechanically fix mesh first and base over it?

oh are they just hammer fixings gibbo that you use to fix laths? drill and hammer them in? whats ewi keith? just thinking if the dash was to be removed could i get away with using k rends version of sbr think its called rx7 and then just applying the topcoat straight over, or if i go with parex...
