Reason I like to watch this guy is he explains everything he doesn’t miss a thing so you can use his videos as a great reference because everything is going to be there.🌹

Remember when social media and YouTube was just a repository of KNOWLEDGE. Thank you 👍

[werdna]

I’m currently doing a rendering / skimming course at college for ten weeks to get a basic understanding, your videos really come in handy and explain what I’m leaning to a new level. I’m hoping one day I can take this up as a career. Thanks for creating these videos

[glengrimsdale]

I’m improving from total novice to producing a finish that I am proud of, thanks to you Blaine. Really appreciate all your guidance and tips

[andrewgarland]

Just did my first ever render on a very, very rough wall, completely shot concrete retaining wall, holes, very uneven and all of Blaines advice made it so much easier, - Thanks so much keep up the posts!

[paulgiles]

I’ve actually been plastering30 years but have still picked up a few handy tips of your videos . Great stuff Blaine👍👍🙂

[calbrock]

Absolutely HUGE thank you for this! I’m about to have a go at patching up some render on the top half of our house, I learnt so much from this! Cheers!

Thank you for taking the time to film and publish this very helpful video. Thanks to you I had a go and re-rendering parts of my garage wall. Not to your professional standard obviously, but I'm pleased with the result and will take on a bigger rendering project next time.

" For beginners only ". Your explaination & work was easy to understand for a beginner. Thankyou very much.

Great job, looks really well. In Ireland we would do that in 3 coats, the first coat would be called the "scud" coat which is basically strong 3:1 sand:cement mix, fairly wet and thrown onto the wall to give a mechanical key for the following 2 coats (scratch and finish).

Interesting video. Over here in Australia traditional cement render we do in one coat approximately 10mm thick, only time you’d do a scratch coat is if the brickwork was crap and you need to make the render thicker to compensate and get a flat surface.
We use fine clean sand, cement and builders clay and add about a cap full of bycol (soapy type of liquid solution) to the water for the perfect mix! Without bycol the cement mixture tends to separate (water separates from sand & cement in the wheel barrow) and makes application a lot harder.

No waterproofing in mixture and finished surface is painted.

Thanks for the tips, very helpful video. I'm part of a club in the North East that runs large model steam trains. The concrete cast arches are tired and have suffered surface cracks and material falling away. I'm hoping that with the aid of your videos (watched the steps, and cills already), that I can make repairs to the arches and make them good. Much cheaper than making new moulds, knocking the old concrete ones out, and casting new ones. Thanks for your helpful videos. Wish me luck

Good video mate & nice finish. I started out as a plasterer as my main trade, and am a handyman/Chippy now . I haven't rendered for a while, but I still do joining plastering at times. You gave me a quick remind of the simple process as specially if u know the trade. Thanks mate keep up the good work. 👍

[patrickdaly]

Good to watch a master at work. Thanks for your good advice.
