My point was more the dealing with the plasterer part as if its his fault...
I expect there to be the odd bad bag.
If @Bauwer are supplying paint and will pay for it to be painted tben fair enough.
May have even been little pigment from the machine used you never no be interesting to find out.
Maybe i was quick to dismiss but as long as its dealt with fairly

On that same fb page mate , about a month ago I remember reading it , it was 3 different shades of blue if I remember rightly and the skinny parex guy on there only jumped in to say he would send someone to look after it was posted up on there, if I remember right everyone was ranting and raving how great it was that they sorted the plasterer, if the vimark guy was unable to respond like the rest of companies then that doesn’t seem right to me , and especially for the parex guy to start saying what was wrong is ridiculous

We made a video of every single wall and it is the only area of discoloration. We applied some water to make the discoloration area more noticeable, it was still hard seeing it.
We supplied equalizing paint and we are offering our help to resolve the matter.
Thanks Alex. I will use monochrome for the next mono job. But am more interested in the ocr u have as u know.

We are trying to resolve the matter and ask other applicators that unless they've had problems with our product ie failure to serve purpose, then please don't dismiss the product.
You could see the photo and a video of the only discoloration area which you could hardly see from a meter distance.
We launched an investigation on Mono, off white 02 colour, and provided a sample of contamination to the factory.
In the meanwhile we supplied equalizing paint to a customer and we are offering our help to repair that issue.
Hi Alexander and all ,
it’s my job and it’s not been dealt with in an appropriate manner, retification costs need to be covered as it is a manufacturing fault. I’ve not been paid for the job and will not be until it is rectified I am substantially out of pocket. The customer is very unhappy as every time it rains the pink stands out, I will upload a photo of this, also even if sealed it will still have water penetration. We are nearly 3 weeks on now and they were notified on the day it happened, it took 2 weeks to get them on site, where they argued with me & my customer. They are still disputing the scaffolding charges for tenting the whole house and heating for painting, labour costs & masking costs. When a satisfactory outcome is reached I will post it on here. If you have any questions for me please ask, I’m not here to cause trouble, just stating facts, as it is my job that is being commented on.
Kind regards, Alec

And it’s on the front of a customers house the worst bit there is pink tint in the customers walls that can be seen it bright sunlight what on the day Alexander turned up is was not a bright sunny day it’s was cloudy.

No not really as the painted elevation will look different to the unpainted one especially when it gets
Wet the customer should be left with a matching job on all faces , he also would like the beads masking off
To stay white which is a ball ache but it’s only fair

Hope you get it resolved one way or another
Yep no one likes negative publicity as it shakes confidence.
Right, we were all speculating then without knowing the facts.hope you reach a satisfactory conclusion then.
If I was you, I wouldn't comment again on here about it, until you get it sorted,as it may harm your case either way.

I don’t really like giving negative publicity either
Just stating facts I can back it all up

Well with all honesty if that happens to me I'll be fuming! The representative will have nightmares till is sorted, honestly! Saying all that, I have dealt with Alex and I wonder if we are talking about the same person and if that's true what the op says @Bauwer should have been there within 2-3 days on the job. In my book waiting for weeks it's not acceptable at all! I think Alex is exceeding the customer support expectations by offering help before the problem is discovered, it can be anything from picking something with the end of the hose to pure negligence, anything really. As for painting that section or elevation that's no no. Applying paint over mono changes the colour , texture and appearance, which means the whole house has to be painted. Not so difficult, but there always will be this memory to remind the customer. That's the s**t part of it. Will that put me off using monochrome again........not really. I found it safer than parex do to the grain range which is more or less in the same spectrum , where parex even with gf range is not that fine and has some larger grains to mess around with. I personally will stick to parex in the winter. The higher lime content helps , but in the summer vimark will be a winner.
Almost forgot........Alex wtf is going on mate? Get your s**t together

I am sure if it proves to be a factory contamination you'll be sorted , if not there is the Easter ball lottery, only 13 balls left. After that you have to wait till Xmas.

Not at all. I got caught in December with overnight temps and it looks just like that.
I'm not saying this is the same cause just educating the forum of the similarities

Talking of Parex I spoke to the rep about a roll of there TV10 mesh that was falling apart. 3 times he promised to pick the roll up and that was 4 months ago. Skipped it in the end and ain't bought another roll since. Wouldn't be so bad but its one if the most expensive on the market. Just another rep that's full of shite

Does it !!. Mate go on the plasters machine group on fb and read what causes it nick cheek has put the description on the calcium levels and the orange is ores in the sand

Here you go colour problems with parex within a day or two paint was with him & all costs were covered. If you say you are as good as parex and say your going to back it up as good as parex you had best do

Clearly you can't read. I never said this is the cause of YOUR issue. I was highlighting the similarities to another render issue. I'm not on FB so can't read what's said. Maybe try reading posts fully before spitting your dummy out. I get your frustrated but I wouldn't question if you knew your stuff or not so keep your knickers on spunky pants

Teething problems are expected but you need confidence that a company will 100% have your back when it goes wrong on their end. If true about arguing with you in front of the client then that's f**k**g shocking. They should be bending over backwards to sort it to keep people using it with confidence.

Only 10 left now ,long wait to Xmas
Parex tv10 mesh is rubbish,since around the middle of last year.
it frays when you cut it, they must have changed supplier. Sounds trivial but when you pushing it into your first pass and bits start to come through, there's nothing more annoying.
