Thin Coat Application Video

[Render Systems]

Hi chaps i have had a few questions about how to apply thin coat systems so here a video of thincoat over OCR with mesh

i knew you lot said it went on thin but i didnt realise it was that thin. how long do you have to wait to start rubbing up? so say i had an extension to do and it was new block work. what would be used as a base coat?

 

[Render Systems]

i would use OCR then the thin coat... and yes it only goes on as thick as the grit size in the mix... that one there is 1.5mm

 

[flat boy skim]

have you beed playing with pigeons there render lol nice work

 

[pftmonojetman]

Can you buy Marmorit "off the shelf" or do you have to be approved ?

 

[Render Systems]

Marmorit say you have to be approved but the contractor just bought it in for me he showed them my dryvit certificate

 

[S a plastering]

do you have to prime it first render

 

[theblones]

@render. did those tubs say "knauf" or marmorit knauf

 

[Render Systems]

marmorit is a Knauf product, i like to prime before top coating is the background doesnt match OCR but the contractor didnt get any so just made sure we covered the grey render completley

 

[PhilPlaster]

didnt think it was that easy! Did it take you long to perfect? ;D

[theblones]

@ RENDER, i am aware that marmorit is knauf, that product looks like knauf only. Reason i ask is i want to know if knauf are branding a product as just knauf or did it say knauf marmorit

 

[Gibbo]

its been rebranded as KNAUF marmorit blonesy

 

[goody]

so is that knauf pft wales eee lol can't wait for my knauf xl any day now

 

[theblones]

I know that, but on the buckets in the video it only shows knauf.

 

[theblones]

i bet les is in bed with it as we speak ( like that tv programme with the bloke in bed with a dog)

Are you gonna try and pump 7mm through it

 

[goody]

that's the plan rough as fukc roughcast is the main course......kinell be like a machine gun with those conkers coming out

 

[goody]

if there's any trace of k.y. on any holes there'll be hell to play...............me first ;D

 

[Gibbo]

that 7mm stuff must look heavy most ive used is 3mm

 

[theblones]

what size is white spar from a builders merchant?

 

[theblones]

3mm looks big when its sprayed, i wonder what it would look like if you sprayed a thin 3mm bedcoat of adhesive and sprayed a 3mm or more into it

 

[merlin]

7mm is proper roughcast, lol would love to see that

 

[Gibbo]

probably look s**t blonsey

 

[theblones]

worth a go i reckon, i find when you spray texture even the slightest mark underneath grins through, if you finish it by hand that hides more

 

[goody]

marmorit do a 7mm roughcast which they say aint pumpable but is that because most machines wont handle it? on the other hand they do a mineral texture at 5mm which will pump. Even 5mm will look good in a colour or painted. 3mm does look good sprayed but is still in the modern roughcast camp really.

 

[Gibbo]

is it

 

[goody]

it is

 

[Gibbo]

is it really though

 

[goody]

there's a sort of thread developing here and as intriguing as it is.....is prob best left alone for the benefit of the wider forum

 

[theblones]

put like a headmaster

 

[flat boy skim]

that will be the old blue peter garden by the time you have finished

 

[Pug]

do you just rule off the base coat or rub it up as well? i couldn't see from the vid mate.

 

[S a plastering]

yes pug its ocr just treat it like render finish but has to be pretty spot on for acrylic finish

 

[beddy]

yes pug its ocr just treat it like render finish but has to be pretty spot on for acrylic finish

do you finish it like render or rub it up with a devil float mate?

 

[merlin]

ocr you can i section then sponge float, this is the quickest way and flatest
