its all meshed but haven't put an additional stress patch mesh at 1 of the openings so Dan would you

A) just leave and top coat with 1.5 silicone and not worry
B) try and put some more gear over the top and bed it in
C) foook knows try and put some on top of the render with a stapler/silicone and just try and cover with the 1.5mm texture

Gulp I know all 3 options are shiiiiite!...realy don't like feeling like doing a bad job:RpS_crying:

You CRACK me up zombie! Haha get it. Lol.

Its upto you mate. If you risk it for a biscuit or add one in. Zombie its over to you
 
Is this on insulation? If it is worrying you then as Dan says put a tight coat of base coat on, mesh and feather in.

I probably would do it. The cost of a come back is too great if you are responsible for the work. Good luck with it.

Hi Rigsby,

Its on brickwork but a thin coat job etc that's all completely meshed but just forgot the additional horizontal stress patch etc

Its just on 1 corners below a window

Thanks Zombie
 
I wouldn't worry too much about it then. At least it has mesh in for the horizontal and vertical strands. Done years of rendering without any mesh at all. It is only in recent years we have started to use mesh not that it is a bad thing.

Think 4mm is too small though. 5mm at least. I can see future failings where render comes off in sheets right back to a sheet of mash.

Zombie, liked your post because you obviously care about your work. Find myself going home thinking, should have done this, did I do that, F*****g hate havin a conshens :-)..good stuff!!
 
Thanks for all the kind words gents.


Marshy and Zombie, you both come across as conscientious men who want to get it right. But that it was the forum is for, to help each other.

I myself has had advice recently about Nano masking tape and back wrap. An offer to see sprayed on acrylic. Always learning.

The rendering market is always evolving and the forum helps us all keep ahead in the game.
 
I'm just glad your still alive Rigsby. Reading through the above tributes I thought you must have passed on.

I agree though, a wealth of knowledge through hard earned experience, willing to share, and learn. RIP
