Good to see that you aren't too proud to do videos showing mistakes (and how to fix them!) Good job as usual!

You're a hard worker bro. Any customer to have you should thank them selves lucky. Mad props man

A right pain ,hard to beat sand and cement floated, and a coat of paint

That ended up being hard work Darren but the end result is great! I love the grey render b

In the past I have used the blade off a bow saw. Rolled into a circle and tied together with some wire. Very aggressive but controllable.

Hard work but i think you pulled it off in the end... well done!!!

Ive left it to long myself I fell your pain buddy keep up the hard work 👊

That was some intense manual labor 💪🏽. It’s great the way you are determined to finish a project correctly! Great job and I like the grey !

Love your honesty

I think we can all agree you have a work ethic to admire and the patience of Job . Talk about everything going against you . Good finish so far though

I lay it on extra thick if leaving over night and a new scratcher for every job, glad you rescued it.

K rend u really gotta be scratching the same day unless its really cold. You gotta come really proud with it too so that when you scratch it back its flush as you wanted. Not bad tho fellla. Love all your videos.

Hard work mate. Always a fine line between cured and not. Weather against you to Darren but sure you ll learn from this one its how we all do.

I bet you dont leave it that long next time🤣🤣, nice to see you getting more and more subscribers Darren

Good man showing your mistakes...but even better that you didnt just walk away.well done looks great

Watching this video I understand a bit more about K rend having seen the finish. It does have a nice finish I admit. I remember seeing a black coloured render on a building the other day which looked really nice and I wondered how it had been done. Now I understand that that was K rend for sure. Please invest in an FFP3 mask, all that dust in your lungs is a killer. I use the JSP force 8 from screwfix. All the best 😉😉

That looked like hard work, your arms must be killing you!

We've all been there mate. K rend is great when it goes right but there's so many things that can go wrong and all the other factors. I try stay clear of it now mate and just use thin coat (JUB) so much more durable, less mess and f***king about. Good video boss like the honesty doesn't always go our way

Excelente trabajo 💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏

You’d be better off beading up again with 6mm beads reapply small layer, leaving to set and scraping before it sets, you won’t have scraping difficulty all day and only costs half the original materials to rectify

Hello, I enjoy your videos. What type of hole saw are you using? Some are for metal and some for wood? Would like to know? Thank you 😊

Hahahaha ayup mush looks like you definitely know what your doing there 🤣

Fair dues, fact you didn’t let the render defeat you!,, 👍👍

keep jobbing mate.

Fair play for showing the video

Un trabajo duro. No es mejor pasarle la frota en seco? Saludos Antonio

Thanks good video

Nice 👍

Hi Brilliant vids mate..thanks. I based in South London, want to do k rend crash course, any recomendation pls?

i have some p40 pads that fit my drywall sander if that worked would be a lot easier job especially it fitted to d a dust extractor much cleaner

Watching from Spain . We always render first then put this on . In Spain will call this mono capa

What float are you using to rub up with buddy

Your Krend was out of date, that's why it went off so quick! Look at the Date on the bags.

Seal it and silicone render it be quicker we’ve all been court out with k rend

Just been going through your videos love your Work what colour grey is that please ?

Great job but get a mask fella👍🍺

😂 iv been that man many times🤦‍♂️

4-36 hours isn't a choice mate. You have to scratch same day or next morning at the very least. U can't choose... also no basecoat means every time it rains the morter joins will grim through. If u need any tips call Campbells Plastering

Fair play mate for sticking that up ,I’ve never used k rend always wondered y all the scratching lol What’s the cost per bag at the moment ??

I like k rend but don't think it's the best thing to use in England especially as people don't maintain it properly it looks bad after a couple of years all the little holes get filled with dirt and it starts looking green if it's a light colour

Try k rends TC 15 instead. Some much easier and quicker. And think it looks better than the scratch stuff.

Hi, I am looking for a good renderer for a front porch built with cement boards, so needs to be done in silicone render, are you interested in doing this, I am based in Edmonton north london.

The dreaded k-rend being so unpredictable, have you tried Weber? I prefer it as i find it better to apply and easier to rub down

In my experience on doing k rend jobs, I-bar and scratch the same day as application is aways best. I have only ever done it the following morning when it between 5c-0c over night. You should always be putting the render on early in order to finish same day, 7am start on cool days and have the render on no later than 11am. In the i-bar process you should always have 3-4mm thickness past the bead so if the render is still too soft to bar, have a long tooth scraper handy to open up the render to let it go off then you should be able to bar it off quicker. Then scratching off should be easy, using any dust that falls down to fill any holes (the dust will still be quite moist and easy to manipulate, rather than completely dry if doing it the next day) And obviously the final finish thickness should be no less than 10mm as there will be light patches throughout the finish if any thiner. The base coat should only be thin, to seal the block work and bed the mesh in

First like 👍🏽

God that looked like tedious work. Please get a mask as that dust will harm your lungs.

Will you see the lines of the blocks once its fully cured?

😂😂

Is it okay to do k rend is raining and winter conditions?

😂😂😂😂🎉

More concerned how you can see every block than anything else. Your scratcher wore down you needed a new one or several in reserve

well that looks terrible, not being troll but ad some accelerator same day, take the skin off it 3-4 hours later, bar it with an I section then leave it 1-2 hours depending on temps and scratch up very gently!!!!!! Grey is a crap colour anyway and casts shadows. the best solution to cover this would be a Krend primer then a thin coat Tc15 type product which can be put on directly on to scraped texture as long as its not been painted! K-rend provide a data sheet for this. I would bite the bullet and pay out my own pocket. I have been in this situation and that's why my view is what it is. Seen your work before and ive seen you do some good graft in the past.

To much hard work that krend you need to change to johnsons silicone render similar but better product and easy to do

Nice to see Bengali brothers in the trade. Good workmanship too.

Mate that is a shambles please stay away from render

Fair one pal. As a fellow plasterer. (Bristol based) It's pretty hard to get the timings spot on Nice save. I'm using weber monocouch at the moment.

Sorry but having umbrellas behind your seats, you kinder fucked up to pass as an experienced tradesman.

mate....what are you doing????? I've watched loads of your videos and you're really good at what you do. this is making rendering a joke. your making you're]self look stupid I'm sorry to say. its terrible and in that situation I would take it on the chin and hack off and start from the beginning. its like scratching a stone on the ground. I have my own building company and Krend company on the Fylde coast in Lancashire. you have really let yourself down with this video.............. Just terrible 🤔
