I have an extension to do in plastic coating with a bark effect to match the existing. So I have the buckets of gunge which if Webers would be their High Build. We sprayed the extension 10 days ago in Weber ocr to a trowel flat finish, got it really tight. it was 15mm thick on 7 newton blocks. To be honest it still could be drying out but the trowel flat finish has made it two tone grey.
Anyhow the builder is pressing to have this job finished for Monday and told us to crack on. We got halfway through the wall and in places the gunge lifted off the smooth render. On trying to repair matters got worse so we gave up, cleaned and went. I rung up the manufacturers who seems to think it is surface moisture and with this product being solvent based it will not adhere to a moisture laden surface. They reckon the smoothness should not be a problem.
The other problem is the roller they supplied was a foam stipple roller? As I remember bark rollers had grooves cut out of them.
I have little experience with the plastic 'artex' type products so as anyone got any advice?
I have found this vid on youtube and the bark effect and it's roller can be seen 2:20 minutes in.
