I'm not one to grumble. Much.
Feb Rendamix by Evabuild - waterproofer and retarder allegedly. My local builders merchants that most all my local builders supply from, swapped from Cementone products to Feb. It's my 4th or 5th rendering job with Feb I ain't using that mush again.
Final staw was a job over a perfectly applied stainless rib-lath type EML sheeting over kingspan type board. No movement and no suction from the background 'substrate'. Scratched and left for over a week.
The Feb (spits in disgust) added to guaging water exctly as-per manuf. instructions.
The scratchcoat was watered by the client for me most days during the 8 day gap between scratch and top coat.
I was a cool, unbroken cloud, day. All day. Not even very windy and no rain. You coudn't get a better day for rendering.
The section I did was on in 4 gauges which took about an hour.
By the time i was at the end the the start point was way-too dry and ruling it was a pain.
Every other time this has happened I've put it down to there having been a BIT of sunshine on the day I rendered. This time on a cool cloudy day and onto an EML substrate I have come to the conclusion that Feb rendamix is not fit for purpose and I will never be buying it or using it again.
I've just read the technical datasheet for it and it says it's 'air entraining'. I don't understand that I thought waterproofers did the opposite to entraining air. Whatever. Its sh1te either way.
I've used this product a lot and thought it sh1te every time. Does anyone disagree?
Best,
