Wiganlad why av you decided on a sto finish? its more expensive than some of the others and the others are easier to pick up from a supplier where as sto aint unless you can lift some of a site. how far are you from golbourne
 
SAS will sell tubs mixed to any colour next day delivery £35 plus vat for 17kg buckets in uniform or grained finish :)
 
i like the finish on sto. used it loads in canada. but we never primed anything.but they never rubed the render up either , which i didnt like cos it doesnt get the finish flat. but thats what they did so i just dis as i wus asked.
 
the amount of problems with deliveries ive had with sas, i wont use them anymore ive even driven from oxford to wemico to pick ventilation beads up ,because theyve f@cked up the order, and they havnt got a BBA, :mad:, good backing coats tho ;D

not far mate y
 
the primer comes in the same colour as the top coat and gives a sandpaper like key and also helps with a more uniform colour. one tub does 100plus metres but is usually quite dear.
 
u wont get em,lol. last straw was ,they matched a colour for me for a client, materials came a week late so i sent two lads to do the top coat, next day i got a fone call from the client asking what the f@ck was goin on? when i got there i found a building that was supposed to be a shade of cream was in fact a shade of blue ??? then when they sent the silicone paint the delivery driver dropped tub all over the f@cking road , so had to ship another one from holland which took 5 days ??? honestly it was like a comedy!

yeah ill put mesh in my scratch coat top it float finnish and put the acrylic on the week after. i like i nice flat surface with no bumps or low spots. would drive me insane if i had to look into my garden and saw a shite job. especialy as its my trade, so it needs to be spot on

oh right never done it that way. so like a tighter mono flush with the beads then the mesh in last? Do you ever have any high spots that are a pain to get rid later cos of the mesh?
 
no so long as its all ruled nice , got to be careful of overlapping joints in mesh tho, does save a shed load of time !

thanks. let you all know how it goes. just got to knock some shuttering up for my steps this wk end and then on with the rendering once i have concreted them
 
sand and cement is fine la but you will need the colourprimer it kills suction a tad and gives you full opacity to stop colour bleed from the dark background (sand cement in this case) weterby is in golbourne you could drive in and grab the gear from their office counter. how many metres you got I think I got some dryvit 1.5mm or fine in my garage that you can have cheap very nice texture too
