just out of interest, what render mixes and gauges do you guys use?
anyone used SBR in thier render?

im having to do the top coat of render on a large house, they did have a couple of guys doing it , but they royaly fxxxed up the areas that they topped.
i hate going over other peoples work , A, you never know what they have put in their mix and B when the scratch is as bad as this. it makes it extreamly hard to get any wall flat.

i found out that they had sbr in their scratch, which i havent used before, i read the the bottle and it says that when using SBR it ment to be second coated with in 8 hrs!
is this 8hr rule a must?

i started on one area and the top coat went off like a rocket, so fast infact by the time i had used a second hawk full i was having to scrap it back off. now finding im having to seal the scratch.

Not sure if it is the sbr as i have never used it or if their labourer just messed the mix up with gauging the chemicall they have put in the render.
 
shes ok most the time, just when i get home from work for about 20 mins, as soon as sit my arse down shes there.wanting her head and belly rubbed lol. soppy as hell. scares the s@@t out of anyone that dont know her lol. last time she was weighed she was nearly 9 stone.
 
he was 10, old for rottys. he was the softest daftest dog i've ever met. smart as **** though. he had steel plates in both back legs (a weak point on rottys) had a huge lump on his chest and it started spreading down to his paw, he stopped wanting walks and hardly moved in the day.
 
Is the guide to rendering still on the forum? If so take a look there under the new to plastering - read this first board. the rendering guide is the sec ond sticky note down
