Great channel Blaine. Watched several of your videos and learnt an awful lot. I'm just a DIY guy who finds this stuff fascinating/magical to watch. You have a new subscriber.! Did a plastering course at a Building Skills Centre (Yeovil) quite a few years back where they taught you how to build your own beads and get them plumb and they then formed the guides for when you drew the feather edge up the wall and the benefits of applications using trowel - float - trowel for a super flat finish. Your review of the Webber product is very timely as I have a wall where the render blew and was hacked off but there remains a base layer that is rock solid. Trouble is that neither the builders not I have manged to get a new application of sand/cement to stay keyed more more than a few weeks. It might be that I have to go back to bare blocks but the base render the very hard and I don't want to risk compromising the double glazed units with the vibrations that a SDS chisel might generate while hacking it off. This stuff might just be the answer. I see Webber do their own render bond product as well. This could also be just the ticket for internal walls that have been coated with Thoroseal damp proofing as well. Great job with the channel!

Hi, just wanted to say a big thank you, I'm I guess a builder by trade and do a fair bit of internal plaster work, a bit of sand a cement but always hatted it. I remember grinding a slot for a lead flashing into some new render and was put of by how soft it was! after watching this video I decided to take the plunge and do my own extension, 45 bags of OCR, was a joy to use and really happy with the results. I also scratched it before Christmas then top coated last week no problems. Thanks for all the info love the channel.

Gunna use this on the next chimney I do! Cheers for your down to earth videos!

All of your videos are informative mate you know the details of the trade 👍

That looks awesome. Makes me think I could do half a decent job with it. Look how it levels!

Looks lovely to use. I'm sold definitely be giving that a try. Fed up with sand cement. Cheers Blaine 👍

Used this this product with mesh was spot on , totally agree great product 👍

Brilliant Blaine! Always great clear videoes! Good stuff. Have you used this product on timber frame builds at all?

Been waiting to see these new products being used, looks so nice to use. Couple of questions, what type of backgrounds can this be applied too, and can the Monocouche be applied as a top coat and the silicon base? Many thanks Blaine, loves your vids 👍

Used it for years, great product, pisses on s and c render and a bit more forgiving on the arms. Top job 👍

Looks lovely stuff bud👍

Hi blaone stunning work as always. Couple recent webber ocr jobs of mine I've seen crazing. All meshed up. But still crazing are u getting this at all?

Nice work Blaine !!! Top man

Looks like great stuff. Do you have any tips or videos for forming the diagonal detail with the drip bead (7:34)?

I'm sold 👍🏿thanks for sharing!

Used plenty of this , I use it over a rend aid scratch on troublesome or smooth bricks , Always a believer that a scratch coat should be left for a few days or your defeating the object of a scratch coat as going straight over it just smooths the coat underneath anyway and then has no solid key , You also gotta catch this product at the right time or can be a pain to float up, When floated at the right time it does rub up lovely though and is a nice consistent finish, Sand and cement is just as good and a lot cheaper it’s just getting your mix ratio right with spot on correct bucket measurements not shovels !! and experience with using it ,

It still cracks ,if the building is going to move it will crack even with mesh.I do agree it’s a decent product but I’m sure you will agree it doesn’t rub up or look as good as sand and cement.I would only use this product as part of silicone system or with some other decorative product over the top. Good video B.

Hi I’ve used this product for small jobs so far like heads and reveals I’m currently going to start a job soon but they want a coloured rough cast render with Weber the back and front of a two bedroom house the house is stone work what would you recommend using sand and cement scratch coat first or could you go straight over the stone work as it is with the ocr I’m going to put fibre mesh in bedded to prevent any cracking

Im an apprentice in my second year and just discovered your channel and can I just say your videos are great! I aspire to be as good as you are in a few years. Whats your opinion on drywall screwdrivers (not the autofeed ones) I mean like the dfs452 would you say they are worth it? Or just stick to an impact driver. Im not that strong/ 5'4 so I do struggle sometimes.

Hey Brother great videos🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I'm planning to have my house rerendered this year. This product as a base coat looks the ticket but as a second coat could it be or would it ok to pebble dash?? And do I still need a lime mix to go with it.. Any info would be greatly appreciated 👍👍

Great review mate, definitely goner give that ago 👍 all the best bud

Monocouche render. Just one coat.Made sure i used on my own extension. Went on like porridge. Level up then scrabble finish...looks great.

Can you use it on cement board just asking great video by the way I've learnt so much from you

I’ve used the OCR from Johnstone’s Trade. Can also recommend that product

That 15 mm total are u using 15mm drip/stop beads do u have to use pvc beads? Thanx great vid

Excelente trabajo felicidades 👊 💪👌🏻👏

nicely done!

Incredible work always 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽I try looking everywhere supply house here locally not th home stores an no one has seen this product before my question to u do u kno if this product will be available in th northern part of th USA ….I’ve used a similar product call Rapid-set while great for small jobs in larger areas it won’t give u enough time to work with it due to so manny Accelerators An even wen a retarder is used u still only have a 10 min window from th time is mix to just losing it cause it gets hard ….again Rapid-set is a great product but I wish I can get my hands on th OCR one coat system thanks 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Looks nice! Sadly not available in the US.

Do you need to add freeflo etc in with the mix or just good to go from the bag

Brilliant used for dashing aswell dries lovely

I’ve used this my only issue with it was if you lay it on around 15mm to 20mm it has a tendency to crack I still think I prefer the way sand and cement rubs up but I must say this is nice to lay on it’s like laying on hardwall

Is the refina hydro sponge for tiling I’m going to use this Weber ocr on a job in a few weeks just making sure this is the right sponge😂👍👍👍👍👍👍

What’s that blue float called ? Been looking for another on as it’s hard to get the circular ones for floating normal silicone base coat

And can you come back the nx day to put a finish coat on if you wanted to carry on scratching

Hi just wondering if you put any primers on the brickwork beforehand ? I’m tempted to try this .. thanks for your videos

any videos on how to apply the beads when rendering ? are they always needed thanks

Looks good mate, can it be given a napped finish?

Do you think you could do a video how to use the webber one coat finish , but in rough cast or pebble dash for me thanks.

Nice review Do u think you could scratch, second coat and hit? Pebble dash in one day

Hi videos are great need advice I always used sand and cement the thing I find most awkward is the heads with sand and cement was thinking of using for the heads just wondering your thoughts can it match ok with sand and cement this stuff looks lighter

I'm doing a dwarf wall outside made out of breeze blocks. Do i need to put grit primer on first or not? If not do i need to put anything on prior to this stuff

Can you render over roughcasting with this product? Not rendered for about 15 years and looking to start off again on a small garden wall.

I remember the old gard chatting about this in the 90s I swear! What did you use as a primer on the brickwork?

Hi Blaine, what’s your thoughts on laying mesh into the first pass? Is it something you’d consider? Cheers enjoyed the video

Looks good stuff

How much does it work out per meter to suply this stuff

Nice, was that a little water diverter you put over the wall flashing there? Interesting

What sort of coverage does it do per bag?

How easy is it to remove ? Is there a chemical I could use ? Any advice great fully received

is there a reason you use a hand sponge at the end rather that the 16" sponge on your powerfloat

Dam I may have to give this a look

You make it look so easy 🙈

Hiya Blaine. Can this stuff be used on some garden steps. ( 2 coats ) and then paint ? Will it hold up to walking on over the years you think?

Love it

Nice do they not do a cordless power float that lead looks like it gets in the way just a thought great product thou...

I am trying to patch up the very bottom of our house which is pebble dashed. We done groundwork and some pieces of the wall came away. Could you recommend the best thing to use, please? The original render under the dash is a very light grey/beige and been on 12 years. what could ii use to patch this? i have no clue, thanks :)

Can you knapp it too?? What's the finished colour is it like a lime and motor finish?? Or can you get other colours.... Also how long does it hold up, like doing a big gable on a house...

Where did you get your power float from

Hiya blane, what head were you using on the powerfloat? I have just bought one and not used it yet its only got the medium sponge with it ?

Hi blaine...sounds great,anything to make work easier.ill have to try it...have you tried Tarmac 1 coat(25kg)?I tried it 1st time during pandemic as materials were hard to get and it seemed okay stuff.Worth a try tarmac one coat render.great work as always 😉

What do you do for top coat ?

Does anyone know if this plaster leaves day joint.

I can see is sticky, so l think l will use it tomorrow for a first time. I got under window bowl which all rendering is off. New wood frame is on with metal mesh so that only will hold the rendering and pebble dash. So l need one coat just to make it solid and I don't want wait so long to apply again with worries that this will come off like the sand cement if is too early. I will find out tomorrow. I can tell by looking that this will be ok.

Looks good stuff can you use it on a house that's been hacked off or just on bricks and blocks

Can this be used inside? I want to out a strong render on my old brick walls rather than plasterboard?? Thanks

Do you need to put a mesh in with as some people say it cracks otherwise ?

Whrre do you get your powered float?

Hey Blaine. I ain't stalking you I just watch your videos lol. Not used this as I stay away from Weber products personally due to the fact as they are naturally the faster setting of the coloured render market there's alot of cracking occuring down the line So my question is do you think this could be the same ??? .thanks

In fairness - it does look more sticky. Does it ghost though if applied as a one coat too thin ? Could you apply over a 4 : 1 S + C scratch coat to save a bit of cost I wonder? Weber do a dash system too - that may be more forgiving in terms of dash coverage.. It's a shame they don't do OCR in different colours like the monocouche system.

Going to be using this on breeze block. Should I be using a mesh? If so Should i be putting the mesh onto a scratch coat? EDIT - just spoke to Weber - they said that for breezeblock i should use WeberRendAid first - trowel it on at 3mm thickness - then gently press in the pink mesh (lapping at 100mm) and use a stipple roller on the rendaid, then let it set. Then use OCR as normal ontop of that

Can you nap finish this top coat

Was using that stuff 20 years ago . It's brilliant still to this day

Hi Blaine, have you tried this over 2 days with top coat 2nd day? Just wondered if it performs as nice with a dry scratch coat? Thanks

I got this stuff. I didn't use it yet but it says on the bag contain sand cement and lime In poland we was using 1parrt of cement , 1 part of lime and 4 parts of sand . I wonder if there is anything else. Is this stuff getting hard faster ? I don't know. I will find out tomorrow.

Love using bagged render. Fassa MS20 is the best gear I’ve used. Definitely recommend using serrated spat to scratch coat in hot weather. Afro comb marks can sometimes bleed through on hot days 👍

What's its like to paint after

Hi mate, are you doing 15mm thickness on each coat or as your total thickness? Cheers bud

Could this be used over pebbledash mate?

Blimey! ..... could have done with that back in the day 🙂 ...... It looks like it floats just like the 'Carlite Browning' used to (Pre Hardwall) ..... If it does, then it WILL be a pleasure to use (Not such a fan of Hardwall - I must say) 😞

Hi do you ever use that pink mesh

Will this stuff be OK for fireplace render?

Can you use this to create a tyrolean finish?

What is the sponge you are using

Hi blain quick question can this be applied to a sand and cement scratch coat?

Hi Blaine, it says one coat base render but you used it for base and top coat? Should you not of used one of webers top coats?

How long u got to wait for primer

How long after ruling off can you get on it with a hand float? Cheers

Can you use a car cordless polisher? They sell them in Lidi lol

You got me surRENDERED on this one Blaine 👍👍👍🔫🔫🔫

i’ve had a nightmare with my last s&c job, this is definitely food for thought! would of liked to of seen this floated up with a poly float instead

Nice, just looking to have a project I’m working on rendered. I wanted to use something like this! Is this available in Different colours? 👍

Does it require a mash ?

Can this stuff be dot & dabbed on?

Home owner question here, what's the consideration with solid walls? My render is cracked and I'd like to replace with a modern solution, but I wonder if these new systems allow the bricks to breath enough? Although I'm sure the paint used by previous owners doesn't allow for much breathing!

Can i use this to patch in monocouche?

Can this be used internal say on a bathroom ? Also can it be skimmed straight over with pva ?

What a coincidence... I used it today (my first time rendering); unfortunately my lack of experience got the better of me and I applied a single coat of it too thick to a wall with no suction, consequently it started to fall off of the wall. Rather than persist I scraped it all off (I used some of it to quickly repoint my patio so not a total loss) before it set up, a £35 lesson and some experience. It's only annoying as I said to my wife beforehand that I thought I should apply it in two coats but I didn't listen to my internal monologue and went ahead anyway. I'm going to give it another crack (I have some bags left and I don't write off a product because of my lack of experience) at a later date, 2 coats this time just as Blaine shows us in this excellent video that came at the right time to reinforce my decision to press forward. Thanks Blaine!

Looks easier to work with, can you paint it like sand cement render
