Hi guys, I've read a couple of the previous posts, & would like more info on these products, is there any difference in them other than brand & price? I believe OCR can go on in 1 coat, can CPI? Is one nicer to use than the other? Also, does one go further per bag? The more info the better cheers guys!

Look you made a mistake, big deal don't beat yourself up about it. Look in the mirror and what do you see? Yes a good man, an honest man, a man we can all rely on and trust in good and bad times. I will always stand by you even though you messed up.

Only used a sample of the CPI GP Render and it set hard and was waterproofed. From what I can gather if you want either of the two to be waterproofed then go for the CPI. The nicest to use will be Webers OCR. On price go for CPI. CPI also do a one coat version of their GP Render but I have not heard of any reviews about it.

OCR you can finish the job in a day with 2 passes,price £5/6 us vat.
CPI is just bagged render and I have just used it the same as standard, let the scratch dry then top off.it has a very high content of waterproof in so you need to get it on ASAP.cost 4/5 plus
Both nice to float really.

CPI 2 coats easier to float up than OCR.
OCR takes a bit of getting used to, need to rule it off as soon as you have laid it on or it tears. Very good bagged render though we use it all the time now, Rend aid first.
