How long would you leave Weber Ocr before skimming?

[s.p.t plastering]

Got liveing room/diner that has been hacked off back to brickwork and treated for damp, and got a few bags left over from a job so going to use this as bloke wants S&C.

After i've floated walls how long would you leave before plastering? was going to leave about 4-5 days....

Also i wouldn't need to pva would i?.....As i'm sure Ocr this has waterproofer init......

[s.p.t plastering]

Lol bit soon aint it?.....U reckon it'd be alright spunks?

You should leave it a week really and it'll go off a bit quicker if you slim it the next day ........ If you want to errr on the side of caution leave it a week mate

Never used it before mind I'm just making all this up lol

 

[s.p.t plastering]

Yeah i thought u where lol, the damp proof guys told him scratch leave for 2 weeks, float leave for 2 weeks and then skim...

I said up to you if you want to be without a front room for 5 weeks but you don't need to wait that long at all on internals, plus you don't have to scratch if no thickness...I'm not waiting that long hahaha

 

[spunky]

How thick is it going on ?

 

[s.p.t plastering]

About 10-15 mm I reckon if that, quite flat brickwork...

It might need to settle if the old bricks took a battering when he hacked them off you could leave it a week to be safe I've done stuff like this next day it's up to you
