How long would you leave it for?
simplybesty said:NO, if i had a whole house to render i would float the lot first and then start on the ceilings and work my way out, just like we did in the good old days . what OCR you using, i would use CPI General render , sprays a joy and cheaper than OCR

It's handy for doing garden walls and stuff, cause you can just mix up in groilla bucket.....I seen someone floating the side of a house in it on his own mixing on the scaffold with a groilla bucket...
Nutter....Looked lovely to..

Simps when you do a backing like this do you spray a full room? or do you work to hard angles

spunky said:cant you use hardwall ?
simplybesty said:i would use render over hardwall anyday of the week. why use a product which you have to turn round and skim the same day which means you would have to do all the ceilings first making more work for you keeping the ceiling line clean, if you use render you can do the whole house first, then turn round and skim ceilings and walls at the same time with no stress.

Cause i find it's easier if on my own....Insted of getting mixer out....Plus it's nice to use..
FreeD said:If you are floating and setting internal (sand/cement) surely you would have to PVA after a few days before skimming otherwise the skim will crack?

How on earth can mixing up ocr in a tub be easier than using a decent size mixer.

I always leave S&C for at least five days normally seven before skimming and have never had to PVA it and that's without using more that a couple of little capfuls of waterproofer per twenty shovelfuls sized gauges.
