tyrolean

[ian]

the tyrolean has blown off the surface of a property in large areas...the existing render is now exposed. it looks ok , just the odd crack here and there,.i was thinking that i could just use a slurry of sbr and cement onto the render , wait till its gone tacky, and then apply my tyrolean.. would this work??
also can i make my own tyrolean with kiln dried sand and cement? instead of buying the expensive weber stuff
many thanks

Think you got all the answers you need marra. i wouldnt buy kiln dried sand just for the tyrolean just knock up the render your using a bit wetter for spraying the texture

i would sbr and slurry the areas, then let them dry out, you may have to leave it for a few days. as you need as high suction for tyrolean, or it will run.
i use just plastering sand, or sharpe sand with cement, mixed really wet ,untill it matches the original tyrolean

thanks mate ... think i will just use normal sand .. perhaps the kiln dried will be too fine

good point about the suction .. thanks mate

Don't forget that the over spray will hit the existing , thus increasing the texture around the patch
