skimming s+c

[nickelarse]

i kknow this is a bit of a silly question, but i have a job im doing tommorrow, and because of how things have panned out, i could really do with getting it done tommorrow. one wall needs to be s+c, which im doing in cpi over old bricks. if i get it on first thing, and then do 2 hits and skim it last thing, do u think itll be a prob? iv never tried it before and i know ur supposed to leave it a day at min. just wondering if any of u have done it and if it turned out ok?

cheers

Never done that before but if you whack a load bonding finish hardwall etc it will go of like rocket fuel?failing that if you haven't got the gear a load of finish in the cement maybe a rapid hardener cement.

If you put thistle in with it you will able to skim later in the day . That's a very old tip of the trade.

yeah i no that one but cheers, but im gonna be spraying it so not an option unfortunatly. but i though old bricks would prob suck in pretty quick?

How big of a wall , what about pump into tubs chuck a few handfuls of multi knock up and hand apply. What you save in time spraying
you lose waiting for a set hand apply little longer but gain with multi mixed in with it. They would have to be bone dry old bricks to able to skim later.

its a stairwall so say 15m.

If that's the case mate it's 50/50 which ever way you go . Myself I would go with the multi and hand apply, knowing later I will be able to skim. I suppose with the machine it will be a whole lot quicker spraying , and keep it tight not to thick less drying time.

We do a lot of little dpc/tanking jobs and to make it viable/competetive we generally have to skim same day, so we mix 50/50 opc and quickcem set in a couple of hours and great to skim on, don't help you much unless you do as h said , or have some lab chuckin a hand full of quickcem into the hopper with ever back of cpi :RpS_unsure:
