hello lads i ve been internal s/c floating for tiles at the mo and an extra was a wall that had been half painted the blockwork was standard concrete block
i didn't have any mesh so i gave it two coats of slurry p.v.a a tad of water and cement i had it timed so i could lay into it while it was tacky but the fork lift driver was busy so we handballed a barrow full in to give it a tight scratch coat so something would adhere to it while it was tacky
eventually about an hour i laid my second coat on and ruling left to right is a nightmare it all just sticks to the straight edge and drags it off the wall w/proofer was in both coats
anyway sorry about that this is my actual point ;D
when using sbr slurrys etc i also suffer from the same problem even just ruling up so i know some of you lads dont use waterproofer in the first coat but in the second do you think this is the way forward????
