    Hi Mac,
    Love watching you do your stuff!.
    When you talk about adding “waterproofer”, could that be SBR, or something else?.
    And how much would you put into, say, a bucket sized amount of mortar?.

      Thaks buddy means a tonne so yes sbr should work but most time i do a little of both I would try a little less than a cap full mate

    Well done. Not many will do this job any more in Scotland- I guess the fact that it’s bloody hard work and makes one helluva mess puts people off but in my opinion it gives a better finish that dry dash especially if the surface is going to be painted in the years to come. Nice to see a tradie get stuck in to it. 👍🏻

    Did you wet the scratch coat down before you put the butter coat on and if so b how much ?

    • @macplastering
      @macplastering  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Can't remember on this one but if it was damp from weatger or just scratched fresh a day or 2 I might nit have wet it at all but if it was sitting a week or more for sure woukd give it a nice wet not loads byt enough to take the sting out of it mate

    Hi Mac, I'm going to attempt to do a wall and ready now for the butter coat. One detail I'm not so sure on is the mix for the stones. I'm using a crushed granite which is pretty uniform in size to about 8mm. Could you advise further on the stone mix sand and cement please. Cheers Mike

      @@macplastering Not great. My mix was too stiff and maybe the wrong sand so it was more like throwing mortar at the wall. Unfortunately I was really up against time as they were coming the next day with the ASHP to stand against the wall(150mm off). As you said "the mix is vital" so you might do a video on exactly that and I think it would be gratefully received. Also maybe make clear between 3:2:1 and 3:1 as they sound the same. I was disappointed and had to revert to the Terylene gun but it's not what I wanted. Thanks for asking. Cheers Mike

So you cover all up and do t wash it at all just leave it all on corners ect ? Do you cover your sills bands and base detail ect I'm not saying covering is bad and we did use covering g and boards on windows just seems like you cover and don't think you still need to wash down?
