absolutely great info, great step by step guide. As a builder myself you explain things very easily understandable. Awesome work mate.

Excellent demo ... plus Great rendering ... Many thanks

great video showing how much effort you have to put in to what you might think would be a quick job. looked like a quality finish too. well done

Super informative man! Thanks.

that was really good and helpful. Thank you very much

You've done very well here with this video mate.

So far the best video .

Good tips thanks, looking forward to rendering up the old ac unit now that its out of the wall and the hole bricked up.

great video, thank you for teaching us !!

Great video and instruction 👍👍

hey nice video man!

Awsome cheers . Get a bit nervous with this stuff . Cheers for your gide . It helps heaps cheers wally

Jolly good job mate

Using acrylic render is a lot easier to use then traditional cement render and applying cement render is definitely an art.

Thanks super job mate

Nice job mate.

great video thankyou

You made a good point about the thickness of cement render compared to acrylic render

cool video, decent information

Did you watch all the video as I only used a filling blade (scraper) on the first section. I had someone with me that had never done any rendering before so I was just trying to see if he would have been better off using that instead of a trowel. The scraper as you put it is too slow so yes a trowel is the best thing to use and filling blades are more so for areas that can't be accessed by the trowel.

Appreciate your efforts.. Great video

It's very rare that this type of system is used internally in the UK. These new systems seem to have come from Germany. And have become very popular for external redered finish.

They don't recommend applying this product on fibro cement sheets, it should be blue board but that doesn't mean you can't do it, it just means they won't guarantee the product. If you are going to try it then I would suggest some extra nails in the sheeting so the extra weight of the render doesn't pull the sheets off the wall. As for using bondcrete, they do have their own sealer or primer that you can use.

Lovely

I can't reply to an individual person on this video. However,@Mark Turner, if you want to go over previously painted, wash thoroughly with Sodium Hypochlorite, Trisodium Phosphate, and soap jetted through a pressure washer, and rinse. Apply a primer depending on what paint is existing. RockCote Acrybond would be great. Go over with something like Dulux AcraTex Sponge Fine or RockCote Poly White. Paint with two coats of Dulux 955 or Weathershield, or RC Armour or Ecostyle. Dulux and RockCote are the two best renders I have used, both bagged and acrylic. Be careful using acrylic outside if you are inexperienced, in summer you have maximum of maybe 10minutes some days to trowel it on and float it off. Start on small walls and build up. Acrylic render, pretty much as a rule, you can't patch it. It you have a defect, generally you will have to re-skimcoat the whole wall. Bagged render patches beautifully. Be careful painting acrylic render too. Depending on the finish, it may have a texture and top coat similar to maybe an AeroBar, or pumice stone. Picture framing can happen really quickly and easily if you are not careful. Painting cementitious render is easy and picture framing is rare, even on havy textures like bagging and lambs wool mitt textures.

If you are dealing with a previously painted surface you will need to make sure it is sound, cleaned thoroughly and then apply a primer. Always use the primer that is specified by the manufacture.

Just the information on rending i needed thanks! Would love to ask you a few questions as im abit stuck filling in a gap around my window frame

thanks for the video, it's been great. Where can I get one of the the "sanding blocks" you use? Do they have a special name? I have googled all sorts and come up with nothing.... thanks

Great video! Quick question: if I want the final wall to have a textured look with trowel stroke marks, do I just apply the acrylic render as you have and then go back before it dries and add the more obvious trowel strokes? Or just do it while I am doing the render coat? Also, what needs to happen after this point to make the wall waterproof ie. to use in a shower stall? Cheers!

How does this go on fibro cement will I need to use a boncrete

Thanks for the info..Very helpfull. Can you advise what I can do for the outside of a house that has been painted, that Id like to render. I did try some product years ago and it just peeled off in sheets.

I have a basement room that is all cinder blocks. It looks like it has been painted at least a couple times. I want to make these walls smooth with some kind of filling smoothing agent. What do I have to do to prepare the walls surface. Do I have to remove paint?

Nice

Great work. May I ask can I just do it in 1 layer like sand and cement mortar?

I'm not sure what the life expectancy is for this type of render but it should bond until the point of it breaking down due weather, movement etc, a bit like normal cement render.

Hi mate, is it okay to paint the render instead of applying acrylic render once I've applied two cement coats?

Renderers i need your honest opinion. For a face brick fence. Is it better do do acrylic renser or cement render ?

What do i need to do if my old render wall have a hairline crack should i put base coat or just top coat?

Lol.. I agree sand and cement render is better but the average person would find it almost impossible to do. Acrylic renders are easier to use, its easier to get a level finish so that's why its better then sand and cement. I have had this discussion with a builder, we both agree it would be better to build a house with brick and cement render then building with blue board and acrylic render. As for being slow, as I said in video it was Rays first time ever so we were going slower then normal.

HOWTO PAINTINFO ...Could you do this on an old cement PATH? Ok to walk on ( medium traffick area)?

if your left handed you skim from the right float / render from the left

does it matter scrapping the render from bottom to top. I see a lot of people starting from bottom to top, instead of top to bottom.

HI, How long does the render last (as in how long will is still bond to the brickwork)?

what do you use for the painted bricks walls

Thanks- top way render a brick wall using Dulux Render-wall and an Acrylic Render or Texture for the top coat.

Would you be able to paint it after that first coat of render (for internal walls)? That's my desired texture. Thanks so much for this!

works well if the brickwork is perfectly flat....

Our unit block is being acrylic rendered at the moment. I haven't been outside to watch the guys doing the work, but I HAVE been wondering why they seem to be taking forever just to complete one wall. Now I understand. It looks a lot more time-consuming than I had imagined.

Going to render outside, bricks are a bit shiny, does this make a difference to the product i use?

worked with that stuff in Germany 25 years ago but we did it on the outside in -10😉

How much do renderers or plasterers tropically charge a day out there? Thinking of moving over from the uk with my girlfriend, she's from Sydney so we are looking at it. Cheers

westall

An old boss of mine said anybody can plaster, I mean, what is it, it's just waving your arms about, and proceeded to do an unusual windmill impression.

Good! 우리와는 방식이 다르지만 훌륭해요

Hey mate, how thick are the second and final coats?

Acraprime should have been applied before the acrylic top coat!

I've been reading all the comments & in particular the ones ridiculing the method used. Dulux Acritex & other brands of acrylic renders are for the novice DIY'er who wants to tackle getting rid of the 'gorgeous '70's brick feature wall' & can't afford to get a tradesman in so some of you have missed the point. As my darling wife said quite unwittingly to a dear friend from the Black Foot reservation when discussing various bureaucracies..'there's just too many effing chiefs & not enough indians' lol..ooops!

Oo well theres so many ways to render but this way definitely is the longest

easy jop

Nothing quite like spreading backwards

Use alltek companies render..then only get good results..

lecker

it does look very easy... but is not...:)

been a spread for 23 years and if I ever needed to go over an existing feature brick wall, I would use render wall too. That way existing cornices and skirtings can stay,saving the owner some dosh. Just looks slow coz the guy is a novice

Skimers hahaha

Decorators, not plasterers imo

I don't get it, some people make False brick pattern to make it look like real brick when is not, the on this video having real Brick you guys cover a natural real brick wall into something else, but hey its your biz and your money.

if you've been in the trade for 20 yrs you should know which way to apply the render being as your left handed you should be starting on the right hand side of the wall not the left that's for right handed people. you might want to go back to college mate and get re trained useless

ray needs to get another job

not really bagging this guy but everyone knows a pro takes mud from the top of the hawk ,didnt even float the 2nd coat

This product looks crap. Use a gypsum based product on and off. From London UK, home of the BEST SPREADS in the world.

Wouldn't employ this bloke ...3 coats ,waste of time and money.
