basecoat, mesh and beads all covered!
we also had a surprise when we chopped off the old render when we found thermolite blocks😳

K Rend Topcoat is covered in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJuofXqNi8hrf80

[@calvinjones2136]

Spreading a thin covering of sand to catch dropped render works well on hard surfaces. Just brush up at the end of the job.

[@IanDavies]

Ah I like that one 👍🏼

[@MrR6pilot]

Ive seen a few people stick bead corners with mitre glue - sets on demand ....thought that was a good idea !

[@kristianwhittall9025]

sika render bead adhesive too. and instastick the scrape off the high spots. work amazing so no sags as it goes off in 20 mins

[@junior4246]

boss content kirk, we all benefit from experience including me and my missus we used your banding method whilst k rending a whole rear elevation and rear walls. it went amazing it looks like a professional job (with you're help of course) the depths you go to explain gave me the confidence to attempt a job that big on my own at my age too !

[@andrewmeynell9373]

Great video as always.mitre mate is brilliant for sorting the corners of the beads

[@ronniebarker79]

Spot on with the k rend series captin

[@kristianwhittall9025]

they will always have a back out clause. I live in Blackpool and have a k rend company that specialises in EWI and render systems and there is always an argument to how they would not warrant anything. I believe to back all my works myself.

[@kristianwhittall9025]

R10 first!!!! 👌

[@lmilne4859]

Always spray some sbr on prior to basecoat. K rend say you don’t need to on top there basecoats for the top coat so don’t bother but do with the base. Also say the mesh should sit near top of a light scratched basecoat. Lovely video buddy.

[@Champ7611]

They want you to buy their products that why they recommend using theres or no warranty! They know full well other companies products are just as good because these companies inspect other companies products so they know how good they are! Its all to make them more money! Great job as always kirk love watching your videos

[@damprotek]

SBR is a polymer and you could probably just tip some of that in your base coat instead of buying another bag of something different I love your videos I like the way you talk you're down to earth and you're a very good plasterer being a plaster of myself I'm always learning I've done this work before and I've actually used the base coat as sand and cement And if you put SBR in the mix you come slightly flexible scratch coat it level it out and float it works out cheaper

[@nom843]

If you do that K rend wont guarantee it...Just opens up a massive tin of worms.

[@rudo747]

Good stuff, you might always get bother where thermalite blocks have been used, makes it worse when bricks are used in with them due to thermal difference off the materials, typically on older houses you see this 👍

[@willbee6785]

Absolutely spot on.

[@maxwellmc9734]

Great information 💯☕💡👌

[@Onthetrowel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@garymckenzie4521]

Brilliant kirk

[@mickydola6472]

Kirk could you use a concrete slurry mix on that back ground aswell and build a key up as another option?

[@workoutwebb3458]

Evening kirk. I have a garden wall half concrete block half thermolite. I have bought HP12 for the base coat😬. Take it I would need to get HPX instead

[@paulknight8254]

Good video.what did you seal the thermalites with. Sbr?

[@JMGRenovations]

Not a rendering based question but do you have a video on how to best finish your corners? What corner trowel would you recommend? Cheers mate

[@user-jx2xv1tt9b]

great video. can i ask is possible to do the base coat in sand and cement then top off with K rend.?

[@colinevans7134]

You always get some one who will criticise your work, your on youtube thay are not. It's your garantee that matters kirk .HATE THESE PEOPLE WHO KNOW IT ALL 👍

[@Onthetrowel]

I can handle it, my wife's been criticising me for years 🤣

[@kaimichael5444]

Great video I love watching your videos. But I absolutely hate mono Loads of reasons. Massive list Silicone tc for me all time.

[@markveganism5003]

Is webber the same as k render...gotta do whole house mine ...and never done it before ,going onto concrete blocks about 4 years old...buildbase only have webber ...

[@SuperLinuxAudioGuru]

The only thing worse I found for coating on other than K-Rend was a lead based plaster I once used. It was for an x-ray room at a hospital. That stuff weighed a tonne and was thick and sticky.

[@Onthetrowel]

Yes mate, I've never used it but my dad has, he said it was a pain to use aswell

[@donpainton746]

Sounds like a plaster called barite made for x-ray rooms. Used it 80s and 90smate.

[@SausageRaymond]

Could you do or have you done a video on hardwall pal

[@norris5353]

Hey Kirk, do you need to prime brick/blockwork before base coat goes on mate? Thanks in advance 👍🏻

[@scottdaynes9811]

You can prime with R10 and still use HP12 basecoat. If you dont want to add this extra step, use HPX which negates the need for primer.

[@pault3705]

Hi what size beads where used on this job ?? 15mm ??

[@lhfloors]

No SBR to blocks mate ?

[@John-gg7ud]

Kirk I’ve used hp12 over thermalite block work instead of hpx but I used the R10 primer mate, ever in trouble or got a few questions give direct building supplies a call in Bradford the guys over there a bang on 👍

[@jonesconrad1]

wonder if mitre fix might hold those corners inline

[@JS-pe4wh]

Yes it does.

[@kristianwhittall9025]

glue and activator behind the scenes for beads that dont meet

[@petespencer5260]

Hey Kirk, any render grip needed before the hpx?

[@Onthetrowel]

No mate your good to go with it straight on

[@raphaelfloyddouglas684]

👍👍👍😎

[@sean550]

Hi I thought you didn't have to scratch base coat..

[@mickydola6472]

Suction on dem blocks Kirk a killer hey 🤦‍♂️

[@ZAFPS]

can you not just prime it annd slam the krend on

[@kristianwhittall9025]

corex

[@WombleUK]

Carpenter & Joiner for 37yrs here & I fucking hate Thermalite blocks they are just fuck wank for fixing to & the older they get the worse they get. Bricklayers love them because they are light weight & piss easy to pay but apart from their thermal efficiency there is literally nothing good about them.

[@khalidbenaddi5936]

Hello, I wish you success in your work. I am Khaled. I work in this field. I have a lot of experience. If you need a skilled worker, I am at your service. Thank you. Really great work.

[@drm6089]

Would never use Krend or silicone renders their rubbish . You can’t beat a lime breathable render simple as that . Just another gimmick that looks good for a month then goes green or the bricks & blocks start weeping rubbish

[@nom843]

Dont talk absolute nonsense you dinosaur.

[@LongNThickWithEase]

Hi kurt, wud it be better to pva or sbr the surface first mate?

[@IanDavies]

SBR, PVA reactivates in moisture
