My work is usually refurb, typically re-render on clay brick. Usually two coat like rend-aid and ocr for example.
Anyway, last November I did a Parex Mono job and the rep told me to Micro Gobetis it (refurb, clay brick) and mono with mesh embedded.
Simple enough as the walls was only 1.6m high all round. But lately done a Granicem L job 7mm C+G (their base coat) and 8mm granicem L and on scraping back the odd snot on a scratch surfaces. Damn! Ivory with the odd little grey spot!
So i have got to thinking about Micro or who evers? Paint this stuff on then two passes with mesh in between. The plus side is speed and ease of micro etc application. The negative is the panic on the bigger walls of one pass, bed mesh, then second pass while wet. Might sound simple but my spread will only spray, i have to rule, mesh, then rule, fill in slumps under soffits and sills then spat and keep up the the sprayer.
But this is not my main concern, it is the Micro etc. i have rung Parex, Soverein, SAS and have only been told it is ideal for porous backgrounds and for suction control. Fine. But when I ask how the material sticks they cannot answer that question, they come back to it is for suction control.
So does anyone know how 15mm of render sticks to the likes of Micro etc?
Rendabond states it has grit in it to aid adhesion. But these little bits of grit sticking out of the surface doesn't seem enough to me.
So anyone know what makes render stick to it because the reps don't know!
