Hey Guys, So I rendered one of my new build walls, and it went to plan, mostly. Essentially, I started a little late, added a bit too much plasticier and so the render took forever to harden up so I could rub it in. I ended up having to do it after dark. The wall is flat, and level, but I have...

Has anyone done an SBR slurry on a wet wall? I've got a 100mm concrete block garage that needs to be sealed and rendered. There is pretty bad water penetration and so I am going to SBR slurry it before I scratch it. However, the weather has been really bad as of late, and the blocks have soaked...

Hey guys, Just got the scratch coat on today, 4:1 sand:cement + freeflo. How long should I wait before doing the top coat? And should I keep the render wet for a few days to aid the curing process?

I have a single skin dense concrete block garage/workshop on my hands. Before doing any rendering work, the blocks would soak up a lot of water when it rained heavily and there was a lot of water penetration. I ended up rendering the interior walls with freeflo in both coats (topcoat had half...
