that has already been rendered by someone but the owner is not happy. its blown in alot of places and there are so many colours where different mixes of SandC have been used, some of wich looks very orange and the guy said most of the time he was using the red building sand from the general pile of sand being used on the extension etc. owner also said it was done over winter.
(in my head I am thinking - this all needs to come off and be done again)
everything the guy has told me about how they done the job spells out disaster and I hjave no faith in the suitability level of the render. The other gang are to return cut back the blown and patch repair. He then wants me to apply an acrylic texture thin coat over the whole lot to hide the bad. (he cant just paint as the walls are all over the show it will look like a witches t1t) So.... I went down to do a sample with a 1.5mm texture and guess what its not going on well because hi and low spots (guys you nknow from experience with a tight 1.5mm the surface must be spot on) so i got all the usual issues heavy in parts and bald patches in others plus when rubbing the texture up i noticed the render breaking down and opening up back to the orange backroung even the slightest of rubs breaks the surface.
I am thinking the only way to cover is to blast it with tyrolean (i know i know, its like a swear word but what else can i do) anyone had this before
