Concrete walls

[Basher]

Hey up guys I have a job to patch up a wall, straight forward I thought but went to look at it and it's concrete wall!!! Now is the best method sand and cement? Reason for asking is it's a days work with other bits to do in the house so I don't really want to go back another day to skim any advice welcome lads

 

[leebo02]

if you use sand and cement you wont be skimming it the same day,, you'd also need some sort of bonding agent,, i would probably use bonding and skim same day

 

[johniosaif]

Concrete wall, inside ? Use one coat..

 

[Basher]

Yeah I was going to use bonding I don't want it to fail that's all so I was think in make a cement slurry paint on the patch bond then skim and it's a internal wall pal

EML and bonding???

You would need to let a cement slurry go off before bonding over.

Or WBA and get a heater on it them bonding and set same day.

 

[johniosaif]

Bonding will stick to concrete without rainbow grit

Just hardwall it mate ,was there something i did not read :RpS_confused:

 

[DannyMac]

Bond it with shitty water or dot it real tight and skim straight away.

 

[Rick88]

Does it need bonding? If not just use bondit and skim?

[carlos]

My mistake I thought concret required a bonding agent

 

[johniosaif]

No, bonding is designed to stick on concrete

We're guessing, he hasn't given enough info. A pic or two would help......

Really every job we've been on we've had to use gyp bond first?

 

[Rick88]

No, bonding is designed to stick on concrete

If it's smooth concrete bonding will blow off, use bondit first then bond and skim

 

[johniosaif]

Try take bonding of, it sticks to metal and concrete

I'd go for slurry and leave overnight to dry , bonding coat then skim. So I can sleep better.

i just have a horlicks. A lot easier!

 

[MANHILLSIDE]

Slurry is a lot cheaper plus very strong bonding agent - WBA is good but not as strong as slurry - if you are in hurry and only patching then WBA will do with bonding coat & skim

What da you know your a noob!
