Never done it before, it's going to honk down tomorrow right on the panel were on it's krend ft, any tippidy tip tips will it bloom etc cheers
 
The only time we had one f**k up was when it was windy and raining we had streaks all down the side it looked shocking we had to redo it, wont want to repeat that one again.
 
ive done it mate, not very good especially if the rains hitting it full on, did you coat it out today like, if you did then you have to go for it and prey at the same time, try and brush it as soon as you scrape an area, will be thinking of you, best of luck
 
If you got a light colour wont be too bad less pigment in it.just be prepared to get wet and have krend where you wouldnt dream of puting it
 
get gaffa tape and tape your sleeves of your jacket to your gloves, the material can drop up the sleeves and burn your arms.
ps dont tell your mates about it so u can have a chuckle later at the burns they have
 
It's horrible , one of the worst days of my life , as Mr Jones said tape them sleeves up and wear full waterproofs if ya can, still get a tear in my eye now just thinkin about it

What we used to do with my old firm is get these and bridge them from the roof of the building onto the scaffold. Gives you good shelter from the rain above
 
Cheers mate we've gOt 30mph winds coming straight at us though......think I'll just sit in the van pu the radio drink coffee and kick back with happy thoughts ....then get the kango out
 
The wind won't lift them if you weigh them down with the 8ft battons(scaffold boards)
upto you mate but works for me. Its the corners you've gotta watch though, always gets hit the worst
 
Cheers I had it at the top a bit and it looked shite when I brushed it and it went White but I thought that comes from when the backgrounds wet not when it's rained on after, jenks what do you mean by lattence mate sounds mental butt tidy

It's like film that forms on the render as it dries
 
film? I thought when you scrape it and brush it it cures and that's it ? when it goes a bit pasty when its wet and you brush it does it get rid of any of that and what about it going a lighter shade is that normal if the background was dry before?
 
Try scaffold netting - lets the wind through but stops most of the rain (from the sides anyhow!) :RpS_thumbup:
 
Found this , something to remember in the future ,
Temporary Protection of Dashed Elevations
When scaffold is used to apply dashing aggregates in poor or exposed weather conditions temporary protection of the elevation should be used. Driven rainwater can bounce or be deflected onto the dashed area creating scaffold lift lines on the wall that are often not seen until the scaffold is removed. Sheeting off the elevation can prevent this as it is not possible to rectify this problem without replacing the entire affected area. Consideration should be given to scaffold protection prior to any work commencing on site and ideally at the tender stage of any scheme. Bear in mind that other parts of the building may require protection from the render application, particularly if cement polymers are included in the mixes.
Oh just to say i'am not trying to be a smart -ass here, but its all in the planning especially this time of year , how did it go in the end ??
