I'll be the first to admit I'm mainly internal never done that much external. I'm giving someone a hand this week using Webber on a old building. Most is bk to brick but some is painted and wondered how other spreads would go about it. Spread I'm helping is sbr slurrying first but I've seen K rend come off with someone doing that. I also been told you can just backing coat and mesh over it because of polymers in backing. Is there a better/right way???
