DIY Weber Monocouche Render - Part 1

My first attempt using One Coat Weber Pral M Render.
As a DIYer I attempted this Monocouche rendering project after watching others on KZbin. My methods are purely trial and error and are not intended for others to follow.

As a plasterer for 27 years ,your spot on two coats is the way to go mate

Looks good for first attempt DIY! A few tip for future or anyone reading. -Work from right to left so you are working the new material in to the stuff already applied, this helps it stay on the wall. -Apply it in 1 to 1.5ft bands working horizontally making sure you keep a "live edge" for the new band to tie in to. Otherwise you will see where each band starts and stops as the material would have formed a skin, which will show up once dry. -Don't worry about making the wall very smooth as this can be sorted once you scape back with a scraping bar but obviously don't leave big dips as you won't be able to get the correct scrapped finish. The flatter the better but small lines etc. don't worry -Once you have applied the render rule it off straight away before a skin forms and don't try to fix any unevenness in the coat as if a skin has formed and you try to fill it in you will see it when it dries. -Don't use the scraping float on the whole wall as that is mainly for edges and more intricate work. What you want to use is a scraping bar which are essentially a long straight edge I beams, this will help flatten any humps and provide the scrapped texture.

This is a great comment! Thank you for the advice! I wish I had advice like this before I started. At least I will know for next time

This was very useful for me! I like that kind of content, quiet and inspiring (I have to render a wall too and I hate rendering!) Also as a French speaker, your accent is 👌 Thanks for the tips.

fair play, Scott, you're doing great for a DIY'er! we are going for sand and cement render and just paint it an off white colour. how do you find the comments on Tin Tok? we have had nothing but abuse from the "pros". we much prefer the comments on KZbin :D keep up the good work!
