Hi Guys,
Being totally transparent, I'm a time served plasterer, mostly interior, all rendering o have ever done is S&C. The truth being I try and avoid it. (Prefer skimming)
That aside, a friend has asked me to do some rendering, (k rend) basically small decorative garden walls, step risers, that sort of thing, which is the only reason I'm considering it, as they are all small sections.
My qs, I'm struggling to work out when you use what product and why.
When do you use one coat, when 2.
What is monocouche?
When to use silicone.
When to use the mesh, when you dont need to.
Can you run the render to the floor.
Etc etc. I'm not to concerned about getting the desired finish, I just dont understand what product is supposed to be used when and where?
I'm not looking to wing it, as I have been transparent with the friend, however I tend is something I would like to get into, just struggling to work out where to start.
(Just for your own info, is on new concrete blocks.)
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards
