how thick can you apply sand and cement (with added fibers) to old brickwork in one day?
chirs w once told me a way to apply 3 coats to make up the old thickness on a domestic job.
if i was down to me id end up doing it at 3 diffrent attempts going away and coming bk a few days later ect would take ages for just one wall!
but iv been doin the odd wall the way he said witch was to wet up bricks say on first coat thick as you can get away with, have a few cups of tea and read the paper then apply another coat , then eat lunch read paper again coming back to page 3 several times then go sit in the van let the lab pick all the crap up come back and then apply 3rd coat, just using the suction of the old brickwork to help get the build in 1 day. on the old houses sometimes you have to make up 2"-3"!!
how would you do it?
