10mm beads ?

[audii]

Hi everyone, new to the forum so hello.

I've just finished doing up my own two bedroomed mid terrace house. I now want to use the weber one coat render to cover the yard walls. I've just finished taking the old paint and render of the bricks. If I put 2 to 3 mm of rend aid onto the bricks and stipple it, could I then use 10mm beads instead of 15 mm beads ?
Are the 10 mm beads a no no?
If so why do they make them?

thanks CJ

welcome Audi,

I use 15mm drip beads and stop beads to ensure 15mm minimum depth. But on re-furbishment jobs I use 10mm angle beads on rend-aid because the brickwork is usually out.

so outer perimeter 15mm beads, rend-aid then 10mm beads.

But you could always put 5mm rend-aid on then 10mm beads but you might see the 5mm gap on the perimeter beads which will look naff.

Thanks Ivor.

Could I still get the mesh in between the 10 mm ok ?

Thanks Rigsby.

Well explained. No outer stop beads so might be ok?
Would I still be able to get the reinforcement mesh in between the 10 mm ?

10mm if fine just when you stick your bead make sure you put heavy beds so it makes a 15mm depth
