Micro Gobetis

[dogstail]

Hi All, I was wondering If somebody would be able to tell me if there is a drying out period that you have to leave micro Gobetis 3000 for,before applying parex monorex over the top of?

We tend to do it the day before. But I am sure you can go over it as soon as it is dry as in after a couple of hrs

 

[dogstail]

Thanks for that . What about going over it a few days after it is applied though? I was mainly unsure over whether or not it had to be applied within a certain time frame, i.e before the micro gobetis stuff is fully dry.

Iv micro'd n then been rained off for two days with no problems.

Yeah its fine we have done it over a week. Its only betonkontakt with a fancy name.

Krend will have an equivalent soon. O was talking to tech in Ireland about k1 and the various timescales of using hpx over dense smooths rather than micro that gives Parex the edge. They were saying they realise Parex have an edge there so they have gone out and found one for themselves. Soon you will be able to kiss goodbye to the timely hpx prep for "some" applications at least.

Whats the difference between micro gobetis 2000 and 3000.

1000

the colour

Thats helpful beddy, what colour do you prefer.

 

[plasterjfe]

Its a bit more whipped cream like than the other. The other was terrible for separating from the liquid and the grit this seems to suspend better.

Oh yah as said the colour is now pink rather than orange.

 

[beddy]

the orange stuff was better for skimming. never used it externally lol.

 

[beddy]

I am partial to pink though

I have some 2000 for the first time and it has no grit in it! Thats not right surely @plasterjfe

Sure it isn't stuck solid to the bottom of the tub?

2000really needed a good whisk before use.

It sticks solid and is hard to lossen again

Its possible I suppose I did only mix it with a poxy little paint stirrer lol

You can water the 3000 down a little now for the higher suction areas which you couldn't previously.

I don't understand how the grit can be enough key to hold a render especially when used over engineering bricks for example????

You'd be surprised, some of the polymers out there almost defy the laws of physics.

Might rub some on me cock then. :RpS_cool:

Many of you men use this or prefer rendaid?

What's the manufacturer?

I only use Rend Aid because I don't trust Micro for sufficient key.
