you need to apply in the afternoon then scrape the following day , use an i section first to flatten the wall off then use a scratch pad in smallish circular motions to get a uniform finish but make sure you go right over it and check thouroughly that you have scrape all of it and that there are no small misses in it once your happy brush down thouroughly with a soft clean broom

if your worried about getting misses then les sells some 'no miss' glasses..simplybesty has a pair and he swears by them

[buffalo]

could somebody please explain in detail how to use krend. i know how to apply etc, but the finishing of it. i know u rule off, leave till hardish, then scrape and brush, but could some1 tell me in a bit more detail. also good places to get it from. cheapest i can find is 8.50+vat. cheers

always good to rule off scratch before top coat.apply k-rend and straighten walls then close with trowel leave to take but don,t leave till set hard as you will not have any arm left when you scratch it,use k-rend float in circular movements as not to leave lines in walls, once you have done one you will see how it goes off its not to bad to use but helps to get your timing right to rub it.

 

[merlin]

merlin, where u at tommrroww mate?

Better to use a bit of i-section.....When iv'e done it we never used the steel floats, only on small areas....Would evan use back of the trowel on the window returns..

famous last words mate

 

[nickelarse]

well im not doing it now. cant find anywhere that will supply krend without a £60 charge as its less than a pallett and apparently they wont sell beads unless its buy the box. so for 20 bags, 20 beads, roll of mesh and 4 hpx it came to £650 material cost. so we decided id do it in sand and cement (with the bags left over from the last job) and id paint it after

 

[Gibbo]

penlaws in enfield stock it all and you can buy single beads
