Finally a step by step video explaining things in detail. Thankyou! One thing I will ask did you need to prime the blockwork before applying the k rend? Could you scratch k rend the same day too if you put it on around 7am and scratched around 4pm?

@AnthonyParryPlastering

18 күн бұрын

Thanks, no you don’t need to prime the blockwork if it’s new. If it’s been up a while I would put some primer on it, just to make sure. And yes I would actually recommend starting early and scratching earlier. I would also recommend using a iBar more, I’ve changed my method a bit lately. I’m gonna upload an updating version in the next couple of weeks. Hope this helps 👍

Get yourself a big barrel bucket aswell get ten bags at least mixed up at once

And if you can’t get 15 fill it out the add 10mm beads after otherwise it’s costing you a fortune in material and you find it works out to around 15 and you can’t tell also if feel it is in sufficient put the mesh through the whole scratch or the building to bind it giving in strength and flexibility can’t be a painful job when k rend is used when it is too thick and I have given myself arthritis from it and you find the more material the more pressure on your joints

If you have missed a couple of un scratched spots and it’s dry what’s the best way to blend them

that finish is shit . for starters you lay first coat on let it pick up then lay second coat on wait until dry but not too dry and you use an i frame to flatten everything out ,the spiked float is only for touching up and taking out any shineys looking at that work i could see high spots all over because he used a spiked float instead of an i frame.when you try to flatten off with a spiked float you end up with like dinner plates in the work where you have been scratching back too long in one area . but not a bad job for a back yard ,its out of sight

Hi Stuart, no the k rend isn’t bone dry when I scratch it. I have always left it over night. I know some people who put it on first thing and scratch it last thing.

Buy yourself a spatula or an i bar pal just run that over it just before your brush gets rid of all the last imperfections and finds any remaining bulges also with the reveals use a 2inch trowel straight on or sideways and same again with the spatula after just to keep it straight to the door I do loads for k rend and you should use a few little extra stages your missing out and then k rend will give you the warranty For your work which not many people can actually do when doing k rend jobs which also looks better for you when pricing I suggest doing the k rend course not a lot of money and I think you can now do it in St. Helens may have to query that
