a little rendering job tomorrow.......

[mickey07]

howdy chaps,i got a little bit of smooth rendering to do tomorrow around a window of an extension....it only 8 ft high by 10 ft long with the window in the middle...just want to know if i scratch it in the morning,would i be able to top out in the afternoon?i reckon the scratch will only take an hour to put on at the most.......im going for a 4 1 then a 4 1 1 with a drop of waterproofer chucked in on my top coat.....

 

[mickey07]

p.s. the brickwork on this extension is all over the gaff......

youre better of leaving it a few days to be on the safe side mate

put your waterproofer in your scratch and make your top coat stronger than the scratch and maybe leave for a day less chance of it cracking.

i will put that all in one retarder/waterproofer stuff in my mix anyway

 

[beddy]

if your using a retarder then theres no chance of you finishing it in one day, it needs to be left for a couple of days to cure ideally. although alot of people do top coat it the next day

You can't have your top coat the same strength or it will go down like a kkk member at a 50cent gig

 

[beddy]

yes you can, you cant have it stronger.
