Just completing tanking coats and looking to overcoat render. Have used Everbuild Febtank.
Their data sheet states Renovating Plaster OR Cement Based Render:
SUBSEQUENT OVERCOATING: FEBTANK SUPER is suitable for overcoating once correctly and thoroughly cured.
Plaster: If plaster is to be used it must be ensured that cement based “renovating plaster” is used. Gypsum plasters must not be used.
Cement based render: Use a slurry bonding coat consisting of 2 parts sand, one part cement gauged to a brushable paste with neat FEBBOND SBR. Apply render whilst bonding coat is still tacky.
Final Decoration: Allow 6 months minimum to elapse before final decorative finishes are applied.
Whats the pros/cons of Renovating Plaster versus Cement Based Render?
I'm a little bemused as I though that it HAD TO BE Renovating Plaster for its chemical resistance to salts etc. but then again I suppose the tanking slurry 'should' have blocked all of that?
Can't find a Renovating Plaster in usual b7q's / wickes….
