Rain

When is it to much rain for webber..
Got to get of this garage and its gave showers and light rain.
I did that job before and heavens opened after it had been on a few hours. Rained all night but was still on wall next day. Obviously I wouldn't start if it was pissing it down but is it safe enough in light rain

Can't control the weather just because forecast says it be light doesn't mean you won't have a downpour for 10 minutes that would be enough to f**k any wall up! Rendering in the rain=no no!

You have to consider lime bloom. Usually when the air is damp even when the wall has been kept dry.

Just tent it one, only a garage should be easy enough. Means buying visqueen though, that will be like a dagger through the heart. And tape

Should only need TPS get it on drape it down, weight at the bottom. Keep it uncovered when it’s not raining.

Plastic sheeting is no good it flaps around. Get debris netting.

On some coloured mineral jobs you might find after a period of heavy rain the render dries out all blotchy. Its lime bloom and it doesn’t need to get wet.

It is down to a chemical reaction when the cement is starting to cure and the air is wet. The carbon dioxide in the air increases when it is wet and it causes a chemical reaction bringing free lime to the surface. It’s usually temporary but the customer won’t accept the reason and it can stop payment.

To be fair this is a garage and customer really seems like he dont give a damn. Just wants to get working on his motor bikes..
