cpi sand and cement render

well i used the cpi as a one coat mix ! as i was short of weber ocr-t ! , i just nipped to one stop and picked-up 5 bags , and i must say it was just the same as the weber ! so similar i could not even see the difference .........

Build your own storage box from ply matey :asadito:

yes we go to Sheffield insulation for weber ocr-t ,right pain and dear £, cpi may be the way to go for us its a lot cheaper per bag, not tried parex ! is it any good where do you get it?

Thanks for the tips Pricey :frenetico::boxeador: i will give it a go :maraca:

so the sponge is the finish, or do you close it with the trowel/ spat ? thanks

Sorry try to upload from Facebook

Ok i will try the serrated straight edge ! so i apply by trowel , the rule with serrated ? then rub-up when firm ? not sure of the way use would do this !!

We are whisking in a tub, and hand applying the ocr, . no serrated straight edge ! i have one in my lock-up though .

I will be using this next week ! , the last time i used it, i seemed to get a lot of air bubbles some the size of a two pence piece !. do you guys have any ideas on how i can use this render and not get the bubbles please ? Thanks for all replies.:whistle:

Does anyone use this product ? can you tell me if they include lime in the mix ! as i need an OCR without lime , for rendering in swimming pools that we will mosaic tile,i cant see it on there tech sheet, and where is the cheapest place to buy from?:)

Yes i know what you mean about it being to fine Rigsby , i was worried that it would not have any strength ! , but its seems ok after a few-days :-), someone told me that weber had had a problem with there sand when they changed suppliers ! and that had caused a few failures !! but not sure ! :-).

i use weber OCR/tiling pre bagged render and was wondering if anyone could recommend another pre-bagged render from another manufacturer that is good or cheaper ?? thanks for your replies apparently weber have stopped making ocr-t........
