Hi all, new to the 2 day method of basecoating, ie 1st day 1st pass and mesh,
2nd day slurry coat.
I’ve just done this method for the first time, 1st pass of cantillana c + g cement’in, notch and mesh on day one,
Then going to be topping with retro base and rubbed up for a paintable finish.
my question is, is the retro going to hang about a bit or do I need to sbr or something to help control suction?
The walls 35m2 so I need a bit of time with it.
The first pass was over thermalite blocks, but I sbr’d it and it still pulled in pretty quick. Just dont want my second pass pulling in that quick obviously.
Never done it in 2 days before always done wet on wet and it usually comes out lovely.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
