New renders

Yes, takes some getting used to but researching words used makes it understandable eventually.

Latest term: Glancing Light.
 
One o’clock shadow.

A wall that looks perfectly flat until the sun is at 1 o’clock position. Looks like the North sea in a forcy 10 gale.

It will show a bad job up, but what looks perfect will show the slightest blemish.

Observe what time the 1 o’clock shadow comes or the 11 o’clock and if you get a complant don’t go back at those times.

Think its J B Taylor.

I have his 2nd edition still. Bought in 1972.

I refer to it for a wet dash mix. But what is interesting, in that book he illustrated a scraped render method. Using a sharp sand you render to flat and when ‘green’ you rub up with a wooden float that had beer bottle tops screwed to it.

What he was referring to was what we refer to today as monocouche.

In 2000 it sounded like a new modern render finish just been invented. When it had been a method used years ago.

I witnessed a renderer doing such a method in the 90’s. Conventional sand and cement then rubbed up with what was probably a scratch pad bought on the continent. He used white cement.

I thought it looked naff but this man kept his method to himself, was not local and was sought after.

A good book in its day.
