Small k rend job

[windy]

Hi guys and gals
Do mainly internal stuff but have a job at my own home that I fancy trying k rend on. Small front wall.approx 700 high and 1600mm wide so ideal to start on and it's my own gaff so theres no customers to please .

Have a few questions as not used the stuff before
Was gonna sbr then basecoast with hp12 then top off with krend and use scratcher to finish.

Wall is out 3/4 inch front top to bottom. Will the hp12 cope with dubbing out this far ? I suppose I could do it in stages

Also for a wall so small will I need a small h bar to flatten or will a hand scratcher be enough.

Does the top coat need two coats as I've seen on YouTube it needs a wet on wet two coat topcoat ??
Would a spat be fine to rule of the top coat or is that not necessary

Cheers

why?

 

[windy]

To prevent cracks? Just said it's a new product to me. Is it too small an area to mesh

 

[tapit]

no but i wouldn't waste money on mesh for a garden wall unless you have it already.

You don’t need tape to fix corner beads either.

Ibar is a must, don’t just donut with scraper

To sell more mesh, thats why, unless its at stress points say above door/ window, waste of time and cash.

 

[choppa]

no, but its quicker.

Not when your hanging off skylights with 3m beads.

practice, pushing mesh into wet stuff, no wonder you can't handle tape.

Saying the one who can’t handle sticking tacking stapling a bead up so they had to invent tape with holes......
