Weber OCR is there an equivalent ?

[gooner59]

i use weber OCR/tiling pre bagged render and was wondering if anyone could recommend another pre-bagged render from another manufacturer that is good or cheaper ?? thanks for your replies apparently weber have stopped making ocr-t........

Most manufacturers make one but not quite as nice to use maybe. SAS Europe's ocr is gritty and limey for example and costs more. Although I found Webers nice but to fine for my liking.

Maybe CPI ocr is good on price?

Yes i know what you mean about it being to fine Rigsby , i was worried that it would not have any strength ! , but its seems ok after a few-days , someone told me that weber had had a problem with there sand when they changed suppliers ! and that had caused a few failures !! but not sure ! .

as far as i know you want lime free thats what ocr-t was.
Before anyone mentions Kmix, that is a two coat mortar but not a one coat render or equal to OCR no matter what buildbase say. speak to Krend about UF base. equal to ocr could be specified.
