Love watching your videos.

I don't use sand cement though. Have u add any is with it delamination putting silicone over top.

All the reps of the silicone. All say they won't spec sand cement.

Hi there great video, is any of this stuff ready mixed ? I want to cover and external wall with old and crumbling brick, I’ve no plastering skills at all, I’m not even very good at DIY, is there anything out there almost idiot proof?

[justycrusty]

Some job👍💪. This has intrigued me though? On the END instructions it states mix the and with cement and brush into wall and app!y scratch coat into this whilst wet. I've done this and never had a problem, but this looks far easier

do plasterers not scud the walls before the first coat anymore?

Would there be issue with reduced breathability? Do one cost renders work ok or is it best to use the two coat type?

So impressive, i wish i had that special arm, i've watched houses being rendered in my area, some cringeworthy most a nice job, i know roughly how long it takes but the trades in my area charge like a wounded rhino or i've just had the wrong guys in to quote.

Lime mortar render, not gypsum/portland cement, should be used on clay brick which need to breathe. Cement is harder and traps moisture within the wall causing damp problems. It is almost impossible to remove as it defaces the brick. Many period properties have suffered damage from cement repairs done in recent decades. Speak to anyone involved in conservation and they will say the same. This is no criticism of your skilled craftsmanship.

Great video Mac. Just wondering whether on a 750mm high garden wall, which is built on a good footing 150mm below the paving level, can this be rendered down to the footing? The 150mm below paving has a 3/4" stone chipping fill to make like a drain channel to a soakaway. Concerned that the capillery action will blow the render.

So you don’t need to repoint the bricks that are loose?

If this is a portland cement stucco how does the brick masonry breath?

[davidhardin]

How do you REMOVE this type of material from exterior brick? Is doing so an expensive project?

[Stringzippy]

Hi great video. Do I water down the SBR? Also can i squirt washing up liquid in the cement mix?

[emmettmccarthy]

2 to 1 mate for the mix.can u tell me the main reason for that.besides it being a stronger mix, totally agree with coating over the sbr when it's wet.the way u said it all goes hard together and grips to the wall makes sense.just curious now mac.i often goes with an extra bit of cement usually for reveals and if I want to get a job floated up quicker.i know the scratch coat should be a bit stronger than the finish coat, so my question probably answers itself 🤔

[danmurphy]

Hi Mac, will you be putting mesh on? Do you put it on in your base or top coat?

[Wayne-Jones]

Came here to see if I should put my coin on before scratch coat or after, I think it’s after, but I learned so much from you, many thanks for this video. Subscribed!
I’ve always followed the mix ratio on the plasticiser bottle so my mix as generally been 1:4, man! No wonder I’ve been having problems.
Would you use 1:2 on an external stone mortar wall.
I got too many questions

You're a beast how fast you get the mud on the walls
