HOW TO RENDER SAND AND CEMENT A WALL READY FOR PLASTER OR TILES ON AN OLD WALL
Hi everyone this is a video in which I show you a lot of tips on how to go about re rendering an old dusty wall that had loose plaster on it covering the basics and the must dos and don'ts this demo could help the diyer a lot or even a homeowner understand what must be done.
In the video I use a lot of tools I use the refina mega mixer to make the sand and cement in the large 40 liter refina tube I use a tyzack trowel with a marshalltown hawk to apply the render an aluminum straight edge or know as a feather edge and a 1200mm speedskim to get the wall straight and ready to be floated. Then I just use a float to rub it up which has nails though it to give a key for the next coat or tiles.
If the video helped or you just like watching plastering be sure to thumbs up and mac scribe for more mac attacks :):)

macplastering hi, what ratio do you use please mate? I mixed 4:1:1 sand:cement:water but heard of people using 7:1 and even 8:1 just wondering what you use as your render looks nice and plyable. Cheers.

that looked like what i've been doing. I saw an old timer showing his stuff recently. Looked like Ken Dodd. He mixed two bags, then 'screeded' the sides, top and bottom, ie troweled some plaster about 6 inches into the wall, ranged them by eye with a 6ft straight edge so they were roughly level with each other. Then he walloped his two bags onto the wall in rapid time, used the big straight edge to level it all towards his screeded corners and had the whole two bags on the wall, leveled, troweled and flattened in about 20 minutes !!!.

Im not sure u seen the other video where i straighten sand and cement render most plasterers will concentrate on the angles as these are the things will be seen the most top with the ceiling bottom with the skirting and the sides are easy to spot a bend getting walls level is another game all together a few ways to do that as well one if there is frames / beads to work of easy and 2 if you make a few bands plumb and work of them like you have just said :) plasterers move fast just the stuff wont last ;0 :)

@macplastering
@macplastering 3 жыл бұрын
Hi my friend thanks for watching ... So if the wall is wet I would not wet it further as it could make the sand and cement just run of or slum when your trying to straighten cold is not a big issue when plasterers refer to walls as being hot they mean dry and thirsty as in pulling the water out of the plaster to fast, I wpuld not let the pva get to dry I like to go over it as its sticky .Sbr might be a better glue to use as it is stronger, If the wall is to wet it might need to dry out more before plastering and rendering, what is the cause of the wall being wet mate?

Hi Buddy. Do you ever put lime with your sand & cement mix to make it easier to work with? Also, did the customer request sand & cement or were you simply replacing like for like? Would you consider using Bonding as an alternative? Sorry for so many Q's. ATB mate

+21centurycaveman would try to use sand and cement for all walls especially in a bathroom or walls that are outside walls such as window walls as bonding gets any water in it and it will turn back to soft plaster. No need for lime sand and cement is perfect for this job you can always use mortar mix to make it more playable hope this helps buddy :)

i done a job a few years ago for dis builder who thought he didnt need a plasterer for the prep work.it was a timber frame house concrete slabbed over it.the builder was to mean to get a proper plasterer in to do the job.he sure regretted it.1st he never over lapped the sheets of metal mesh.he then scrathed coated it.there was fuck all dept to his scratch over its light coat then left it dry 2 much before scrathing it.he got me in then to help him with the finish coat.i was none the wiser but after a day or 2 the muck cracked where he never overlapped the metel joints.it was basically hanging on the wall.i then hand to chip it back off with a cango.pollybond the fuck out of it.mixed skudding up with pva in it and start again.scratched it myself then rubbed it up after a day or 2.so by the builder dat thought he knew it all it had to be done twice.simple mistake not overlapping but costly.i didnt mind i was on day rate lol

Well as you know plumb and dot will give you very flat wall .but you can also use a box screed method where you don't need to wait for the gear to to pull in .as long as you have a good floating rule or feather edge as for gable ends any big walls plumb and dot can be done with a plumb line that way your top dot will be plumb with the bottom dot . but to be fair theres no short cuts in this it's all about the preparation

macplastering you’re welcome mate, I’m a bit skeptical when it comes to all these new tools if I’m honest but love the feel of the speedskim compared to any feather edge/derby. I still only use the one steel trowel start to finish when skimming as I find the plastic/flex trowels too flimsy for my liking. Have you tried a felt mop at all? Would love to know your opinion on them?

MOP whats are they haha? I know what ya mean mate why i like to show the tools in use and give my honest thoughts of them and believe me some tools dont get a video they dont make it that far. I still have a few tools to talk about and update the channel with have a few great faithful tools to talk about, the flexi trowels are good but they need to be used at the right time and that could be hard if some1 is new to them but if ya get the hang of them they can help. sometimes i dont get time to grab mine i just hold on tight to the the refina stainless and keep going

I got a simple question. I got old render wall and i want to stick some tiles on. But all render wall is painted so I'd like to put cement sheet on the wall rather than re-rendern or patch up. Question is Is this okay to put cement sheet on the wall for tiling?

Wouldn’t it be better to use an Acrylic Primer rather than a PVA? As PVA can re-emulsify if exposed to moisture.

I think this was done before acrylic primers where about like they might have been around but not easy to get but the pva used here is pretty close to sbr and again I would chose sbr over acrylic its very good youll see in newer it would be my go to for if in doubt wipe the sbr out

why not dampen it down and give it a good scud coat then lay on the scratch coat. pva is becoming used far too much for this type of work as a quick way out.. it was never ment for this type of work.. a scud coat would give a far better grip for the scratch coat... I watch alot of your videos and they are very good . I'm on the tools 26 years so I know a thing or two. but the love of pva nowadays is gone way overboard
@macplastering
@macplastering 7 жыл бұрын
This is super pva it clams to be a bond / sealer and is one of the strongest pva I know besides from SBR that is but yes a scud coat would have worked just as good but most would say you have to let it set and come back another day wich would be 2 days as you know I would be happy to get 2 days work for this small job but dont always get my way all that being said this job has long been tiled and is 100% but I hear what you say dude
