Help for enthsuastic amateur. Thermalites

[Simon D]

Hi im new to the forum. Am doing a large extension at home and for inner skin thermalites id like to use thistle hardwall. But how to deal with high suction? Can i go straight onto thermalites with hardwall. I e used rendaid on the outer blocks before rendering but very expensive. Any advice would be welcome. Cheers Simon

I’m kicking this back up the what’s new list...
DoT & dab internal
Stop complaining about expense of rend aid which is no extra ££ on an extension total price tag

Just wet it lightly and bang on , I wouldn’t have bothered with rendaid outside either

Hardwall will be fine

Get a tub of gyprime if your unsure of what to do for high suction block

 

[bobski]

For an amateur
Seal with gypprime or grit or better.

If you're bitching about expense, not much hope. Dampen down with water.

Good chance you'll have a mare over thermalites.

As an amateur why the f**k are you going to attempt float and set for, just dot and dab it

I think he meant to type Euthanasia, after all he is bold.

Please post finished pictures. This could be the best one yet. Amateur floating thermalites and then skimming onto hardwall. Brilliant

Damp blocks scratch coat then float coat . Rub up with devil float and skim . One wall at a time then repeat .

What could possibly go wrong?

Don’t listen to these lot mate, slap it on but the trick with hardwall is to use dirty water instead
