Usually I DIY. but can't help but think by the time you have bought materials, hired sprayer, compressor and scaffolding you may as well get someone to do it.

Forget rendering if you’re a diyer 👍

Spraying is quick fairly clean but not the same as hand finishing it’s similar to spraying tyrolean with a hopper gun

Looking great Dodge 👍

You are never too old or too clever to learn something new….

Always great content 👌 thank you . One thing at the beginning of the video I thought I had got on a rappers music channel , you looked the part , Roger the rap or Grand Master Flash. You are very good at what you do, Rog . Great stuff👍

Love the varied content Roger cheers. I've had a look through your videos for "Resin Bounded" paths and driveways, cant see any and wondered if you have covered it or have any videos on the process. Thank you Stay safe Conor

Hi Roger have you had any experience with Cork Sol rendering please.

I do love a smart render and I dread people fitting spots outside to light it up, those spots will find every uneven patch if they are poi nted at the wrong place. :)

Renders night mare they should be banned 😂

We have old rendering that now needs a face lift. It's old but mostly sound with a few very small blown areas. I think it may even be pebble dash that's been painted. I'm on expert at this, sorry 😂. We want to have smooth render. My question is do you think we have to remove what's there back to brick first or could we render over the top of what's there assuming it's still holding up nicely? I have no idea of the age of what's there now but the property it 1930s so it's probably well old. We've been quoted to have the old removed and to have new render and the price blew our socks off to be fair. We only have a tiny one bedroom detached bungalow. Thanks Roger.

You’ve answered your own question, when you said you had areas that were blown it means you’re likely to have other areas also blow in time so why spend money putting something that won’t last over the top. You need it all stripping off and doing properly, going over anything you don’t know the history of is bodging pure and simple.

Currently having the rendering done on the block of flats I live in... Didn't realise this is how they did it, but I saw them spraying the other day!

Prefer hand finished ,spraying is easier and less messy ,use to spray tyrolean years ago with a compressor and hopper when sprayed it has a similar finish

Good video. I used to put on by hand. I brought a 50L air compressor and a £20 hopper gun off eBay. And never looked back! I would never hand apply it again less mess and use a lot Less material.

Is this stuff ok over lime mortar?

Looks better than thin coat

Are you able to give a rough cost per sq m based on a professional application

How does it compare to cork spray?

Is this product suitable straight onto brick or blockwork? Looks a nice finish but I assume it is dependant upon the condition of the substrate

What happened to Cullamix ? - used it in a Tyrolean hand cranked bucket that flicked the stuff onto the wall, and promptly took all the skin of your winding hand. Total cost about £15 ( it was 40 years ago ) a bit less than the gear you're using now , and less of a pain to clean up.

It will always be dubious spraying or applying anything onto a substrate you know little about or how long it’s been on, fine if you are doing the whole job base coat and the works from scratch but if not you could have issues. Looks messy and masses of sheeting down, it wouldn’t be so easy cleaning up if it had been pissing down with rain just like any rendering system.

@@SkillBuilder you don’t need to do it in the rain because whatever the forecast says and because you live on an island like the uk you’ll always get rain and get caught out by the rain. If you’ve got material laying on scaffold boards or on plastic sheeting you’re in for a mess when it gets wet, no matter how many times you check the weather in the uk you’ll always get days when you’re caught out applying any kind of external finish.

yes, if you trowel it you get more of a K Rend look

This is most comon way of exterior finish in Europe. So with experience I can tell you this is not good. This is building protection and like that you need to apply it carefully and when you pass one square meter or two you need to come back and open it. This is not good. I've seen this trials all around and they failed. Trowel and be fast. One more thing. You nee to be careful it's not to hot or windy. But weather in UK is perfect. We use to know get up early and start at 5am before get hot. At least in UK you don't have this problem.

We have been using this material in the U.K for a long time and if you watch the video you will see we did go back over it. The point about heat and wind was made. Maybe it is hard for you to follow our funny English but we are all over this and it won't fail. We have hundreds of examples of this in the U.K. EWI would not be in business if the products didn't work.
