K Rend TC 15

[User________removed]

Does anyone use this gear and is it any good ?

Which of the two basecoats TC 4 or TC 2 would you use with the Tc 15 top coat ?

I've used Jub in the past, and using Johnstones at the minute, but my local merchants deal with K Rend so wondering if this is a worthy alternative !!

Cheers

i used hp12 for base on masonary and tc topcoat. didnt like the topcoat at all. colour kept seperating. basecoat bit rough on the trowel

 

[thebearbeef]

I don't have a clue what TC2/4 are we've used loads of HP12 on all sorts of substrate though and never had a failure

I think the TC15 is decent did this last summer in it on a hot day and didn't skin over too quick

Did you add water to the TC15 dan?

 

[thebearbeef]

I've only ever used it on fairly small panels though tbf

yes. we use thincoats everyweek. we are aware on how to use these mate

Used alot mate...only over OCR and sprayed with Bennu. Nice gear.

I'm using prorend's uniform texture
It's a small grain,probably 1.2mm so I'm getting 10m2 to a bucket.
17kg buckets mind
It's around £3 a m2 and a nice product to use.

Thanks for all the replies.

@thebearbeef I think the TC 2 and 4 are their two bagged basecoats, but i didn't know which was which mate.

I wasn't asking if you knew how to use it i was asking because we use it without water so i was wondering if thats why you got colour seperation smart arse

TC2 and 4 is their coloured Mineral Thin Coat. Not bad stuff to be fair. 70 a bag someone has mentioned sounds a tad steep.

 

[thebearbeef]

Never used it

The page i was on it looked like a grey basecoat, just seen a vid of it going on makes more sense now. The mineral must be bagged and the silicone bucket.

So how cheap is k rends normal basecoat ?

We have, loads less mess and it dries pretty quick. Not silicone though.

Pricey there where's that? 20 quid cheaper at the place I use.

No more than £10, I've used hp12 alot but on a scratch tender not a TC, weatherby/heck is a much nicer base coat to use for a thin coat imo

We used the tc on a big job last summer, I had a similar result, it just feels cheap. The hp 12 (and hpx) is a great product, but most of k rends other output is dross.

I've not used loads of the TC but i think there dash receiver is the best out there. Thats what we usually do on private work.

The top coats are all much the same to me, not a fan of any of it really

Yes it is decent.not sure about getting 4.5m2 per bag mind.
Think we are getting around 3 although we are getting good prices due the size of the job!!!

I'm not getting 10m per pale though, are you spraying it on ?

I think there literature states around 6m per tub.

I've had paint do that when not mixed properly at the shop, never had it with renders though. Was it factory coloured or tinted at a shop?
