How i wet dash render aka roughcast the wetdash mix ratios all given the scratch coat of sand and cement given the butter coat given every detail and stage talked bout and demonstrated as much detail shown and given on how to wet dash render and the way i go about doing it the tools i used and the timings i use also how i key up the brown coat aka butter coat so it will receive the next coat of sand and cement wet dash is not the sae as pebble dash or dry dashing as this is a wet mix with the stones mixed in with the sand and cement where as dry dash is a coat that dry clean stones will be applied to but painted pebble dash can be patched up using this method as it can have a very similar finish when re painted #wetdash #render #dashing

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?.

On this one we did ask for a readjustment loads but never happened as it was to close but to help stop any scars I try dash it the same and keep what we say same hand at it so it is finish the same way same hand means same guy dose whole wall so his texture is the same

Plastering 27 yrs myself. & your the first man iv seen with nothing covered? Meter box & soffit covered in slap dash. A wee bit of extra prep work in regards to covering those sort of things & you would have very little cleaning afterwards. Just a wee tip 😉

@macplastering 11 ай бұрын

find it still needs cleaning myself especially when the stones cut the plastic then if its not cleaned it sets hard and is very hard to clean in behind and thats not what you want when it comes to windows but yes we covered them with boards and plastic sheets but still cleaned after i find cleaning and taping up that cleaning is faster but Yea i hear you user239-435u

@@user-bc6rs8qo2s still seen that tear loads of job hence why it still needs washed otherwise you risk the parts missed again wish these guts had covered it up themselves would been great as we had no money to spend on getting the plastic or putting it on . 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?

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

How did you get in with the job mate?

@bathfamrer 7 ай бұрын

@@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
