Render repairs

[MHLPlaster]

Evening all- quick one from me, I have a job to do hack off patches of loose render and obviously repair! Any tips in getting a good finish once it has been painted so it doesn't stand out like a soare thumb! Patches are 1m2 with render depth of 10mm at most!


cheers

Nice clean lines sponged in to match existing or troweled smooth to match existing, patches are not easy to make invisible

I know mate tell me about been telling the project manager how hard it is to make patches invisible! On a Main Street in a busy town too! Love a challenge! Do you guys use yellow sand as top
coat? I've been working with a squad who say use plastering sand as sub coat and help was top coat and you can get better finishes! Any truth in this as I've alwYs personally used plastering sand all the time.

cheers

I do run of the mill refurb works ,always used plastering sand, silversand for fine repairs

pretty impossible to patch up render so it cant be seen... I;d use OCR....

has the wall been decorated or is it still in the sand and cement finish ?

make sure joints dont go to quick and lots of attention to floating joints,, take your time

It's been painted previously but once I have done the repairs it will be getting decorated once again! Thanks for the advice guys!

Work it as you usually do and then try finishing it with a carbon steel trowel :RpS_thumbup:
