Put 6mm hp12 on insulation panels today and got caught out .
Thought I.d put it on then nip get a sponge . All was going well until I noticed it was drying quickly and I still had to go for a sponge . This turned in to a disaster as toolstation was sold out . Screw fix was next day so I had to go b n Q. So lost another hour and got back to some very hard looking grey base coat. .
Any way I got it pulled back but few Dickie bits . There top coating it with tc15 ( some one else is helping with that) can this go on 3 mm or does it have to be 1.5 mm.

Top coat should be 1.5 or will finish poor ! A tight coat of base coat if your not happy with finish

Yeah been told that mate . Two kids have told me it will cover . So we will see.
If it does need another tight coat of base . Can you go straight over existing or do you need to prime it

It looks ok from the photo,
Normal practice base coat more or less full-thickness out to your beads mesh, then another tight pass over the top of that, then prime then top coat

Thinks its cause I dont know what you can get away with. I.ll take kid out and if he says it needs another thin coat I.ll slap one on.

No you have to prime base coat before for the colour goes on

 

[Ftp321]

If you need to slap another coat of base no need to prime

John that basecoat will be absoloutley fine for a 1.5mm bucket coat from what I can see.

In facti i go 1 further and say it will be lovley to go onto, you will be amazed at what it covers once you seen it going on!

 

[zombie]

Think he's meaning if he needs to put any more render on 1st.

No @John j can render on top of the render without primer.

Trust me it doesn't need it leave it alone mate unless told otherwise!

 

[John j]

I.ll nip kid out anyway it's not far.

Once its primed how long can it be left before top coat

I like to leave the primer on a day

 

[Ftp321]

I like to leave the primer on a day

If you primer in the morning and go over the same day the primer scratches off and leaves little visible bits of base coat

 

[Ftp321]

Try and get some fast set additive for your bucket coat it's taking days to harden off at the moment otherwise still soft the next day and and the rain can catch it

 

[John j]

I like to leave the primer on a day

Was trying to talk customer in to priming it and leaving till spring lol

Can be left as long as you want really just like you could pva an internal wall but then not skim it for a month or whenever!
