Gib Kirk Giordano. No Waterproofer

[fixit]

Wondered about the comments from Kirk. See the copied youtube comments below.
Would they use different sand/cement in Down Under.
FIXIT
we put waterproofer in the first coat but not the 2nd coat

Good evening fix it, I'd stop doing that, if you waterproof the first coat you have sealed it, In order for the second coat to adhere it need to adhere by suction or what we call a mechanical bond, you need a porous first coat that you make moist with water to accept the second coat which is wet. If you waterproof the first coat, the second coat will not adhere forever unless you apply a bonding agent over the first coat as it's now sealed.

Because Kirk makes loads of YouTube videos doesn't mean he's right.
I put waterproofer in my scratch coat and I defy you to separate my top coat from the scratch.

Oh and Kirk has obviously been reading some books but getting his facts arse about face. The roughness and texture of any substrate or subsequent coats of render is the mechanical key, not suction, that's a chemical key.
You're welcome.

Same as skimming dry PVA ,
sure , it'll be OK
You scratch properly , not everyone does and tbf I've used it on occasions but always prefer to dampen
My opinion is pretty worthless as I use lime in my mixes ,
Next time be more dismissive , you let me down

I put a bit of waterproofer in both coats

 

[essexandy]

I put a bit of waterproofer in both coats

I wouldn't be able to take the excitement.

To be honest I always use lime in the top coat and it doesn't mix well with waterproofer.

What makes you say that mate?

WP in scratch coat is to control suction not kill it .......

Exactly, different amounts of WP at different times of year and on different sized wall etc.

thats teh way I have always done it... never put it in the top coat

 

[Cockney]

Why?

 

[Rigsby]

Different climate here. We need a WP for suction control and on certain properties penetrating damp control and besides cement itself is an adhesive but get water absorbtion and have it get between the two coats can cause segregation so this is where a good wavy scratch comes in. Not straight got to be wavy and whilst the base coat is still wet enough for the scratch to sag. The two coats interlock so cannot blow off.

 

[MIXERMAN]

Do u think Kirk wears a wig. And wots with the over sized white shirts . Kkk

 

[Danny]

Why?

No idea... just the way I have was taught...

I hate render so never really bothered to look into it to much

It still is, just seems to have branched off. I like reading up on it but I wouldn’t start doing it. Internal fine. Not external! If I did that I’d have someone posting pics in sunlight crying!
