Well I bought a tub of plasprime X

[henry]

Well I bought a tub of plasprime X and coated a small gable in it ready to be sand + cement render.
Now it says on the tub it can replace the coat of water resistant render coat before applying the receiver coat and reduce suction.
So I can just put on a 12-15mm coat of render rule and float off. :RpS_thumbup:

 

[DannyMac]

So are you using it to replace a scratch coat?

 

[bubbles65]

D'ya reckon it would be suitable for going over a [solid] scratch coat about 10 years old Henry?

Got a linky?

 

[Curry]

Sounds like micro

 

[henry]

So are you using it to replace a scratch coat? I sure am Danny

Bubbles I got Sovereign Chemicals to send me a leaflet I can send you mine if you give me your address but I will go on google street map :RpS_lol:. I think you would be able to go over scratch coat but if its that old then maybe the day before give it a good soak then apply plas X . Will let you kmow how it went but I think it;s going to rain.

 

[bubbles65]

It's gonna p!ss down marra, just as I've picked up another months' worth of outsides. What a mug taking that on in JULY FFS!!! :RpS_crying:

Now it says on the tub it can replace the coat of water resistant render coat before applying the receiver coat

I've not heard "reciever coat" before. Is it another name for scratch coat?

Its a coat with a hole near the anus

'Dash receiver':RpS_thumbup:

 

[warriorupnorth]

How H ?

 

[henry]

well if this plas x does the job of a scratch coat and the brick work is level then why not just apply one coat of render/ It's something Ive not tried before so will give a go.

 

[bubbles65]

PLASPRIME X

 

[bubbles65]

Looks good Henry:RpS_thumbup:

 

[henry]

will let you know how it works out.

 

[Fatarm]

Sounds good s**t Henry, look forward to lettin us know how it performs:RpS_thumbup:

 

[irish_spread]

I would be amazed if that works Henry though I would love to stand corrected mate :RpS_thumbup:

 

[irish_spread]

Surely the joints in the lblock/brick will sho w through.

Ok after painting but the local unemployed spreads will point out its a one coat/ 2 coats same day job ?

 

[DannyMac]

There's a good chance it will bleb and /or be a complete b1tch to rub up, good luck though Henry.

Is it a big area?

 

[Curry]

I think its meant to be for OCR, CPI ect

 

[irish_spread]

I think its meant to be for OCR, CPI ect

Im sure you're right currier but surely OCR is meant for H S backgrounds and Plasprime etc will make it a no suction background ? Its a question lads, not a statement :RpS_thumbup:

 

[henry]

When you apply this stuff it is like a film over the brickwork if joints are blushing through render is it to do with thickness after all a lot of s+c work internal is one coating.
Hey guess what eddie you can also use this gear in damp proofing as well:flapper:

 

[irish_spread]

I'd dilute it with some h2o if yer damp proofing Henry :RpS_biggrin:

 

[Fatarm]

Oh no ..........!!!!! Dont say that word!!!!:RpS_scared::RpS_scared::RpS_crying:

 

[theclemo]

henry did u role it on

 

[henry]

henry did u role it on

I used a block brush but you can use a roller and to say it can be used for re skims over tiles onto P. boards in bathrooms making the boards waterproof. ideal for tileing.:RpS_thumbup:

 

[theclemo]

:RpS_thumbsup: ill have to give it a go

 

[Gibbo]

Im sure you're right currier but surely OCR is meant for H S backgrounds and Plasprime etc will make it a no suction background ? Its a question lads, not a statement :RpS_thumbup:

i wouldnt use ocr in one coat over a high suction background eddie

 

[spunky]

I think its meant to be for OCR, CPI ect

Sand cement and lime then

 

[bodplasterer]

Is it not just another sbr substitute charging 3 times the price? I bought a tub if sbr from selco yesterday £16+vat.

 

[Curry]

Sand cement and lime then

No. I dont know what else is in it but it lets you spray it on nice and thick ,without slumping and can be rubbed up when wetter.

 

[bubbles65]

fibres?

 

[Curry]

Dont know bubbles but anyone that says its just like sand, cement and lime from a mixer is of their heads

 

[mark ross]

No. I dont know what else is in it but it lets you spray it on nice and thick ,without slumping and can be rubbed up when wetter.

Most pre blended bagged materials for spraying will have a high level of calcareous aggregate.
