Regardless of the system the main problem is cowboy builders!

Spot on. The heritage guys have been saying this for years. What is also important with using lime is it's highly sustainable. Lime isn't expensive if you get the correct product.

thank you so much for explaining all the pros and cons for each type - i found it quite confusing until watching your video!

As usual very educational video would love to spend a few days with you learning this stuff thanks again

thank you for this video mate. It is very helpful. you save me a lot of money

Very nice...thanks!

Great video thank you

Brilliant! Always so helpful. You make my working life so much easier in this area. Really appreciate you knowledge and yiu expertise.

OG Render Professor! 💯 Thanks for the good Knowledge bruda!☝️

Great video. Very informative. Nice to see a pro that knows the value of lime render.

Great video

Was waiting for this one top content 👍🏻

Brilliant video mate. As usual 👍🏻

I use lime render and baumit and used to natural building technology now in Eastbourne you are doing a good job

Another great video mate 👍

Love the vid mate I'm a webber lover after watching this

Great breakdown video.👍 I'm looking at using OCDC to go over house pebble dash. I fancied trying the thin silicone colour render over the top instead of krend. Witch would you recommend/ suggest? I never liked applying krend to the scratch it off and make a mess. Your silicone thin coat looked easy and very good. Thanks. Dan

Can’t beat silicone render👍awesome stuff.!

in germany we got lime cement render, but its gotten really expensive sadly. 3 years ago it was like 8 bucks for 40kg and now it jumped up to nearly 16 its called hagalith ff. i really love to use it on the inside in combination with silicate paint which allows the whole wall to diffuse moisture, makes for a fantastic air quality in the room

Top man

Excellent thanks 😊

Hi Iwas a plasterer for 50 years always used sand and cement render, it dosen't matter how breathable the other mixes are once it is painted with 2 coats of paint it is 99% of the time no longer breathable.

Did a garden wall and waited yonks for it to go off.... Scratched and will have to hit it tomorrow.

Excellent video ❤

Having worked with all these mixes, I agree with everything in this video. However, rendering that perfect brick wall is a crime. Bricks will last forever.May need repointing every 50 or so years .Why cover it with render? Also,for timber frame. Don't just render over it. Put external insulation first.Then render with ocr ,then silicone primer and render.

Hold up! You can put silicone thin coat on block work, I thought it was only for timber frame, so do you put a scratch cost on first to build up the level then put the thin coat on?

Have you worked out the cost difference between sand & cement and OCR Tony 👍

Can you use a bag render for a fireplace? James

What additive would tou add to there sand cement render? Waterproofer and feb?

Hey Blaine, another quality vid, Can u use ocr over a sand cement scratch coat?

👍👍

Noticed on the gable using ocr you'd split it with a stop bead for first coat but seemed to render over the stop bead on the 2nd coat. Is this as you were working alone and to manage the areas. Once completed are the stop beads fully hidden or seen slightly. 👍 for another great video and content blaine

Дякую за майстер клас!

Blaine, are there applications for the OCR or silicone render for internal applications like showers, or in tanking basements?

Have you seen the silicone render cracking I used it and a few places I am using it I am seeing crack appear, is there anything you would recommend. I also inserted the mesh after the first layer.

thanks

Great video mate. how many bags does that plasters bath take ?

Great video Blain Ive recently had an extension built that has been sand and cement rendered & it has multiple hairline cracks. Im looking at doing the original block built 50s ex council house myself. Ive removed most of the old scat finish and its a pretty smooth type of concrete block.a lot of which has pretty flakey mortar joints. My plan was to use the mesh ive seen you use and hit in small sections to get it scratched up and apply the top coat at a later date.would this be ok with OCR? Ive never rendered anything before so didn’t want to do it under to much presure. I can skim to a pretty high standard but never had a go rendering. Would you recommend anything in particular to apply to the block work or just wet down? Thanks Andy

Can you use Rendagrip with Weber OCR?

I contacted Weber technical support and they suggested it can’t be used as a final finish and is best used as a base coat with their finish coat…..I can’t see why it can’t be used as a finish coat but it’s got me bothered as I want to render some chimneys with OCR and paint later….oh they also said they don’t guarantee OCR can be painted over?? Weird.. Can you clarify if it’s fine as a finish coat and can be painted with a normal water based exterior paint? Cheers fella!

Like render has similar rules to owning a gremlin 😀

Anyone here know if you can pebble dash silicone render? Doing a rimber framed extension to a classic 1930's pebbledashed/roughcast house and wondered if i could achieve the same finish with a silicone system? I know they offer a textured finish but it dkesnt seem as pronounced.

Sand cement render is a pain in the ass. It cracks, even if you’ve done it all correct. I hate rendering because of it.

It's not so much breathability. Towels are breathable but they hold moisture. It's the capillarity necessary for older buildings. It's the minute bridging network which is intrinsic to lime mortar. The limier the better. It's why I always used quicklime. It's unbelievably workable and stick like shit. I'm guessing what you were using is NHL. A lot of us hate that because it doesn't stick well and doesn't hav a lot of life in it.

k rend is far better .for all rendering aspects

Rendering over nice brickwork should be made a crime punishable by death.

Can we cement on the existing brick wall to cover up minor cracks?

Ocr is best 💩 ever
