I'm after a bit of advice from the render gods! I have only ever taken on dry/wet dash jobs using traditional sand and cement. But last year I went out with another plasterer and done a bit of scratch render with him, I've also been to a few of the manufacturers training days, so I'm pretty confident using the material. I just have little experience coming across those walls that aren't nice big squares over block work!
I've been asked to price the front of a house which has been rendered with sand and cement, which went over dry dash and the customer also reckons the dry dash was over wet dash! Now the render is all solid and I know enewall have a base coat that can go over smooth or even painted surfaces aslong as its meshed then mechanically fixed but I'm a bit concerned with all that weight being on the wall. Do you guys think as long as I fix it with pegs long enough to go into the original block work would all that weight be ok? If I was to be harling it using S&C I would strip it off but if I could get away with just going over the top it would save alot of work.
This might be a stupid question but the house has bay windows with splayed angles, would normal angle beads work round these or is there another method?
