You could've sbr slurry the wall then sand & cement with feb or lime then multi. Or I seen someone use this dry coat from gyproc then multi on top. I did the 1st one on my friends house a year ago after he injected it & it's ok still.

Use feb or lime in sand & cement mate.

Just read there's a hydrated lime aswell WTF!!!!

Lol thanks Kemp, what lime do you use the hydraulic stuff & where can you get it?

Someone on a diy forum a while back. Why is it wrong then? I seen bricklayers do it when they was workin next door to the factory I used to work at a few yrs ago!!

Thanks spunky i will google feb. And can't believe that Andy called me a chancer I've been professionally plasterin for 2 & a half years now!!!! So I've got a lot more experience than most of the new lads on here!!!!

Lol. Another spunky :RpS_laugh: I have done a search on other forums & i was under the impression that when renderin using a sand and cement mix, add a little washing up liquid, it will help it stick to the wall! True or not!!

Hiya Viking, buy all marshalltown stuff mate as this will make you look more professional & more apeallin to a potential boss. That's what i did, but i haven't been took on yet, but i'm doing ok on my own. :-)

Hi guys, I've got a small renderin job to do next month the mix I'm thinkin is gonna be 3 sand, 1 cement & a good squeeze of fairy liquid for scratchin coat. Then 4 sand, 1 cement, 1 hydraulic lime & some more*fairy for top coat. Will this be ok for blockwork garage?*

Hi Buddy what i would do is scrape of the high spots, then pva the walls & reapply sum hi build with a hawk n trowel whilst pva is tacky, then go over it with a plastic float to achive a smooth flat finish! :RpS_thumbup:

I did the inside of the extension last month, they boarded it & i skimmed it, then he asked me if i can render & i just panicked & said yes lol. And he asked for a quote, so i just thought a week plus mats, it's 2 small walls & window reveals etc. My neighbours garden wall i did was spot on...

Read a few posts on here!! Can someone explain why you shouldn't use it?? If a wall is pva'd & 2 coats of render with waterproofer in & then 2 coats of masonry paint, how the hell is water going to rewet the pva behind all that????:huh: Can't get me head round this argument ffs:RpS_cursing:

Oh sorry pal i didn't realise i do apologise, i'd been on the wine all afternoon:RpS_biggrin: i have a good sense of humor too lol. You been plastering long matey? That d*m**o blokes work looks terrible what a cowboy ffs!!!!

OMG you are ChrisW not ChrisM lolz. sorry pal!!

I bought a cheap bucket trowel from b&q & i used to use a smaller bucket trowel with a rounded end. And Casper i thought you were 54ish lol. Sorry pal!!

I don't know him sorry, he is also called Duncan??

You obviously haven't been doing plastering very long kebab king!! even i can see that the ceiling needs half a bag of easifill on it. whoever did that job is a very messy plasterer. You should do a course & maybe you will be pointed in the right direction for a career in plastering. I...

you can put it over liquid damp proof membrane from wickes's but ChrisM is correct!!

what i would do is weak pva over the bricks to seal it, then when dry a thick pva & render when tacky with 4 sand & 1 cement for both coats. And before anyone says anything i did my neighbours garden wall like this 18 months ago & it's still there:RpS_tongue:

Well that's all i use a cordless!! I bought one of them green Bosch cordless drills from homebase & a mixer attachment from wickes's. I can mix one full bag of multi finish in my gorilla tub no problemo!! So i don't need to worry about 110v or 240v i can mix anywhere, iniside, outside...

Hi guys, Wondering how many times you all trowel the ceiling or wall once the 2nd coat is on???? After 2nd coat I flatten it sraight away then again 5 mins later, then spray bottle & trowel it straight after that, then again another 2-3 times till it starts turning brown in small areas then...
