K rend question

[dmplastering]

Got a small scratch render job to do in a couple weeks onto block work. Now I've done a fair bit of it, but when I worked for a firm and they just ordered it by the lorry load. I'm going to use base coat then top coat the next day. Customer wants 8mm base and 10mm scraped back to 8mm top coat. The job is roughly 30m2. After reading up a bit about coverage I'm guessing I may be a little short. I've told them to order 25 bag as I thought it was 1.5-2m2 per bag?

Edited to say 25 bag of each

Every time I've done it I thought a bag did 1 square meter mate

8mm top coat isnt enough.

 

[rendercsr]

You want 12mm topcoat scraped back to 10mm

Can I ask why 10 back to 8 isn't enough?

 

[User___removed]

no need for base either bud.just use 10-12mm beads.lay on a few mil over beads and scrape back.

 

[User___removed]

also allow a bag to do 0.8m2.

So this can all be done in one set? Ive never done it like this before. Always base coated

Use mesh cloth if less then 7 newton over the lot ,but stress mesh as normal if it 7 newton

Well i done this job on friday&saturday. Must say im really happy with it as ive not done any k rend for well over 2 years, this being the first one on my own. Only 1 elevation but customer really happy and ive got a full house skim outta this job too. Ended up basecoating 6mm and top10mm. 20 base & 28 top was more than enough. Customers sending me pictures when scaffold is dropped do might fire them up.

Thanks for thr advice chaps
