Learn To Render ~ Technique Tips on Best Rendering

Roger shows you how to do cement rendering with top tricks and tips.

Roger Bisby gives some advice on cement rendering a wall. If you are repairing or want to go over a previously rendered surface, even if it has been painted, you can do this with Cementone Renderers Primer.

Provided the surface is sound and the paint is well stuck on you should be good to go. See what he has to say about lime renders and adding lime to sand and cement to make it more workable.

At this time of night, after a few beers, your channel is better than the BBC. There is something incredibly entertaining about watching a craftsman explain something he knows well. +1 and subbed.

Thanks I will keep that in mind. I am using Weber. These one coats do seem more prone to staining from run off

[petersharkey]

Cheers Rodger. I’m learning through practice and watching your vids.

Appreciate your video is spot on in terms of passing valuable many others are just a lot of "look at me" and useless blah, blah, blah....thanks again.

How long did you leave the sand and cement until you used the wooden float? Thanks

[thewaddy]

Nice bit of plastering roger .i read your blog on mortar and the use of lime and not having the mortar to rich in cement and your spot on .one of the main reasons why guys don't use lime to much any more is the expense of it compared to plas and actually lugging it around, also it can be a bit messy, but there is no doubt about it, it is great stuff for the mason using it and for the buildings it is going into.

Hi good video where would I be able to get the powder puff sponge you have?

[billbennett]

Hi roger can you render over brick that has a timber frame behind and if so what sort of render,

[woifmachatch]

Nicely demonstrated, cross fingers for my first attempt ever, but nothing is worst than what’s underneath 😱

Thanks Roger, I will gauge with bucket to keep the mix consistent.Many plasterers are very skilled with the trowel but are using 1 : 3 cement/ sand mixes ! When the house moves through the seasons it is sure to crack and become hollow.Dont think I will bother with waterproofer as I feel this often does more harm than good.

[michaelloveday]

Hi Roger, Thanks a lot for all your rendering videos. There is not enough info about rendering out there and you explain everything perfectly.
Just wanted to ask a question, I am a landscaper and have built a block retaining wall and am going to get it rendered by a plasterer. He wants to use 10-12mm beads but I feel that isnt deep enough on the wall and was thinking more 18-20mm, what do you think ?
Thanks alot

[phoenix-kenzodapathaan]

That's what you call skill.
Nice one

[elliottdebell]

Good video thank you, you have explained it well I can finally render my wall :) (I'm a bricklayer)

I like the idea of that "powder puff" as i often wear through the skin on my fingers sponging stucco with a jumbo sponge
