got a k rend job comming up,its 25 s m on concreat block just want to know how far 1 bag will cover and do i need a base coat?
 
Have done before.two coat wet on wet.makeing topcoat alot thicker,you dont want to scratch back to first coat.but youd make more using base
 
going on 18mm scraped back to 15mm, we never get a metre from a bag using krend. closer to 0.8 but i think krends coverage rate is actually 0.7 odd or summit thats if the wall is flat after and not concaved swooping in and out at the ends.
 
ive put krend on to block with 12mm beads around windows had no problems. and still did not get 1m2 a bag
 
You wanna order what you need in one batch then you can guarantee the colour will be the same throughout the job (thats if you scratch it up at the same drying times) you dont wanna be heading off to the builder s merchant to get more and find the colour is slightly different as i can happen, not so much with the whites and creams.
 
You don't need a base coat over concrete block and price it at 0.7 perm and forget scarping back same day if it's shaded or cold and then you want to try and carry it out through the whole job brilliant innit
 
Never mind K rend. I have had a quote from SPS Envirowall involving 15mm total thickness on old facing brick. 8mm base coat and 10mm top coat scraped back to 7mm.

30kg bags and they have quoted 58 bags 0f pre rend and 52 bags of top coat. The area in question is 108m2 so I am suspicious about 52 bags to do 108m2 at 10mm?

Being 30kg bags I would have expected about 1.2m2 per bag at 10mm?

it should do it mate

the coverage is good from the base and the mono
 
I think SPS's mono and Base is about the same, mono may be slightly cheaper.

8mm base and 7mm top coat seems a safer option than Weber's 3mm rend-aid and 15mm top coat. Base is polymer modified and the mono is slightly polymer modified. Less tension so reduced risk of cracking.
 
on a wall that has been rendered previously and wanted touching up. the render was solid and didn't want to knock it off. so i put a cement slurry on the thing with SBR and now puttin a k rend finish on it. the k rend slides off the wall in some parts not sure why and the k rend is not white thats printed on the bag but a creamy colour, will it change when i rub it up?

Are you trying to achieve thickness in one pass?

its because of the water content in it, it will obviously dry lighter. FFS does this forum just attract numptys these days.
