Greetings Aberba, care to show pictorial evidence or any form of demonstration on plastering.

[@efeyaachaa4870]

Hello sir, if you have already completed the foundation, can you now add water repellent on your cement mixer for plastering for some benefit? 😢

Very informative. I have had to scrap bits and pieces of information about rising dump issues in Ghana and what the pros and wonna be pros are saying about it. This really covers it in a lay mans views. Nice work 👍. What would you recommend when no dumproofing was installed? Can it be done during screeding?

[@aberba]

Great question. That's what I'll address in my next rising damp video. Stay tuned. There are several options for fixing existing rising damp issue

Can i add the pora cap 10 to paint

[@aberba]

@@errolosafo4314 no, it's not meant for surface treatment or mixing with paint. It's meant to be either injected into the blocks (fixing rising damp) or mixed with mortar for plastering (prevention)

We want solutions on the defects now not long video which is not giving comfort..

[@aberba]

Giving you comfort wasn't the purpose of the video. It says how to "prevent" rising damp. Not how to "fix" rising damp.
