Hi what if your going over a painted external wall do you need to prime that first?

[@MrMooney07]

Clayts put a key in it with an angle grinder.

[@shaunmoss2901]

I’d never advise going over paint , been a paint manufacturer paint isn’t designed for render to stick to it

[@Nickpaintbrush]

Why are they selling this at decorator merchants, this is for the plastering trade!

[@shaunmoss2901]

Paintbrush 1962 render is a decorative coating

[@shaunmoss2901]

New render over paint

Do i need to seal a freshly build wall of blocks ?

[@shaunmoss2901]

No , only if the block are lightweight or thermalites.

[@Happytruth]

@@shaunmoss2901what is the primer that’s used on those lightweight blocks?
Can you spay machine the base coat and top coat?

[@scarboroughrider]

Cost and time and Labour far exceeds traditional rendering and yet to see a better method .

[@shaunmoss2901]

This is far quicker , only need to add water , to gauging of materials and no need to worry about the quality of them

[@scarboroughrider]

@@shaunmoss2901 I’m not convinced Shaun. I add water to my sand and cement so not really much difference. A scratch coat applied , too coat then done. Never failed me in 22 years . If I want to add colour simples, add some colourant. What’s the cost like in comparison ? See loads and loads of buckets in a skip locally on a new kfc . Never seen so much plastic tubs 🙈.

[@Happytruth]

@@scarboroughriderI think the difference is they’re charging ££££ for these new render systems when sand and cement is hard work for a fraction of the pay, being old school myself i am researching these products because i feel like im missing out ££££ you know what i mean.

[@PetePoole]

Can this base coat be used on cement boards
