Parex renderering in late October-Mid November

[dion]

Hi, I am not a plasterer, but a experienced (fairly new with Parex) plasterer is going to re-render my house over hacked off damaged/uneven rough soft red bricks set in black mortar using Parex materials eg: 1st basecoat+mesh+2nd basecoat then Monorex? finish coat

Would appreciate opinions/experience of applying at this time of the year..ie late October-mid November.
Q. Is it too late in year considering our climate?

Q. Is it ok for filling deep "pockets" and "making up" extensive external damaged corners, or should S&C be applied on damaged areas...if so how long must it cure
before applying Parex products?
Need to know quickly so as to avoid a "botched job" having to be re-done at double cost+.
Thanks in anticipation of replies?
Regards Dion

You could fill in the voids with a Parex base render then your base coat. I am not familiar with the names of Parex products but a few on here are.

As to time of year then yes it is a good time of year if not the best. No chance of rapid drying and not too cold either. You will have what is called an overnight scrape. Apply in the afternoon and finish next morning.

I would assume the spec to be microgobetis primer to the brick and then one pass of monorex with mesh followed by a second pass of monorex to full thickness.

The monorex can be used to fill voids etc no need for sand and cement. Monorex be better.

This will be as long as the walls are fairly reasonable.

If the walls are suffering cracks from movement or is in need of extensive filling then I would go with a polymer base coat first.

Simply monorex or parmurex with the additive of lankolatex in the first pass

PS.

Time of year is fine. In fact its just coming into overnight scrape. Perfect for Parex.

Thin coat finish is a different matter

Thanks to everyone replying to my questions, I am now more confident to proceed...although I am having classic builders/Plasterers "not on site" syndrome...being elsewhere when they should be pressing on with this job. But again regards to all replying Dion
