Bagged render

[currymunster]

Hi everyone,
Been living in the past with sand and cement but I think it's now time I tried a bagged option
What's the options for something that's similar to sand and cement for a plain face finish.
Was looking at Weber OCR but that says it's good for a base cost. Can you use it as two?
Cheers James

You'll like it


Most OCRs are good now.

yes

Thanks, I assume it's just mix and go. Scratch coat first like S&C then final coat. Day between?...5 days?
Dampen down before. How long to finish final coat before it's dried too far. I assume it has waterproof and retarder and in already?
Sorry for all the questions.
Just trying to modernise my self... Lol

No


Some suck

Water resistant, not necessarily water proof.

Some have a decent amount of lime in - so can pull in if you use OCR as a scratch.


But don't panic if you think it's got away from you - they have a way of being revived.

Some let them really go - then a dash of water and float away, she'll come right back.

If you have a motor float, you can get away with leaving them even longer, then reviving it.

As for your other q's just depends on conditions and spans and suctions.

And your speed.

Start on a little section to get familiar.

Next job has lots of little sections. Pulling off pebble dash. Lots of sections inside fake timber. Timber frame made out of render. Some need repairing. I'll post a picture if I can
