[brimplas1]

after reading several posts on here i tryd toppping of my s and c scratch coat on the same day instead of leaving a couple of drying days inbetween and im well impressed, i was rubbing it up less than an hr after putting it on.. result.

 

[johniosaif]

Who gave that advice,general r.o.t is to leave a week between coats on external.

 

[brimplas1]

it was on internal johniosaif, saw on here it was better to let both coats dry together.

Aha I see

If you do it the same day then all the joints in the block work "bleed" thro even if it gets painted, expect as call off the customer the first time it rains on it after its dried and they can see every joint in the covered brick/block work.

Best to post second or third...

we always float sand and cement in two coats. the first coat kills the suction lay the second coat on and it rules off easy.
we never scratch or leave the first coat on floating.

Ive seen dampproofers do it this way , just go round all work first thing first coating , second coat at 11 ish on the first bits that were started or so then all rubbed up flush with existing

That's because of the waterproof additives they have to put in, had they just scratched and left till next day for the top coat. It would hang all day and likely slide in places depending on thickness etc

 

[insul8]

I would normally scud my walls let dry then just 1 coat have never had a problem yet

 

[yeoplast]

Thats how i do it internally, scratch and top the same day, nice and easy:RpS_thumbsup:

 

[beddy]

I was always told internal sc only needs 1 coat anyway?

 

[scottie5]

1 coat fook pushing half an inch of s&c round the wall thats madness 2 coats for me.

 

[Marshy]

Depends on the shape of the wall or the thickness of the existing your having to fill out to?? :RpS_confused:

 

[beddy]

2 passes but still 1 coat. I class 2 coats as scratch the first. Let it set and cure. Then coat again

 

[Marshy]

I always two coat s/c internal as well as external :RpS_thumbup: only internal better to do both coats same day

 

[jesssop]

Is this another joke?

 

[beddy]

Surely that's 1 coat two passes? Or are we just splitting hairs?

 

[scottie5]

Err

 

[Marshy]

Yep better splitting hairs than ars*s !?? :RpS_laugh:
