Even though I’m not a beginner I still love to watch all these videos.. 👍👌

Thanks mate! That means a lot 👍

@@PlasteringForBeginnerscan you use mesh with ocr or not?

[@benpatfield5471]

Hey blain hope your well buddy love the video very informative , do you have a link for the sponge float you use ? Cheers Ben 👍🏻

[@heatherharrison281]

Random question.. great informative video by the way... Your accent I'm getting nothwest sounds local to Stockport (where i hail) am i even close?

[@scottamos8401]

Superb video again mate, i am going to give this product a go next week. Would you ever use the stipple coat weber recommend?? 👍

[@stephenturner9835]

Can you use a silicone render for the top coat in addition to using this?

[@thereal6582]

Using the sponge attachment on the power float to finish off on the ocr is brilliant

[@richaaay94homer53]

Can you still use mesh with OCR? Or does it not need it? Great video mate 🤙👍

[@peterricci]

Great channel BTW - I have a question. My home is being built right now in Italy. We have a large brick wall surrounding our home, with 10cm of insulation applied on the exterior (using round plastic plugs to attach to the wall). On top of this, they apply the render. They told me they used 3 coats of render plus one coat of paint as a sample. However, when I look at the wall around midday (sun above), I can clearly see the lines of the insulation joints and some of the round plugs. They tell me I will not see this once an additional coat of paint is applied, and it is normal. But I think the issue is greater than this. What are your thoughts?

[@aarongreen4738]

Hi mate. Might be a daft question but is it standard for the stop beads to be visible? Is this now ready to paint or would you be adding silicone type finish coat?

[@OZStuOZ]

Hi Blaine, I'm looking at giving this a go at my mums... practice there, before my extension 😂 Whats your go to for preparing brick / block with OCR? Soak it, Rend Aid, exterior pre-grit? Mesh vs no mesh? Cheers, Stu 👍🏼

[@welshwood1]

Brilliant video, as always - Thank you 👍 Interesting you still use a two stage scratch and topcoat, even though the Weber product is labelled a One Coat Render. Makes a lot of sense having the two coats. I have an old 1940's building to render, constructed of old Suffolk White bricks. I was thinking of using a mesh. Can you still embed this in to scratch coat using this OCR material? Also, would you prime the wall with SBR or something, or would you just go straight for your scratch coat? Keep you the great work!

[@johnpemberton5089]

Another quality vid Blaine, How long is it workable mate? Can you whisk it up again, after half hour if needed?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers mate. And yeah, just keep mixing it and it lasts all day if you need. Just cover it up if you’re going for lunch or having a break and you’re good to go 👍

[@twillum]

I spoke with Weber about OCR and I was told to always use the product with their 'rendaid primer' and then to stipple this with a burnhole roller. Also, if it wasn't being applied with a machine the second coat must be put on within an hour of the scratch, they specified 'wet on wet only' never to let the scratch dry. Have you had any problems with your method as it looks easier than what was directed ? Thanks

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Never had any issues and never had any problems when applied the next day. I appreciate the message though…it’s worth knowing. Cheers 👍

[@twillum]

​@@PlasteringForBeginners 👍 Thanks - Great video as usual!!

[@leegorman3329]

they told me it really for a backing coat for their other finishes to go on top, made no sense as its being advertised as ocr , i was told by them its not a s&c substitute?? phone call made no sense, so i left it and went back to s&c

[@twillum]

@@leegorman3329 it would be great if Weber were consistent with their response. That way everyone could avoid voiding its guarantee.

[@Zoli_ExhibitPrinting]

Another great Video! I am rendering a Devonshire Stone wall on the rear of a house. It is covered in holes and odd bits of brick thrown in. My approach has been Dub out with mortar , Slurry coat with OCR/cement/sand...... and then build up Weber Ocr and some mesh to get the wall ready fro the final render. Are there any obvious issues with this approach?

[@elenarespeto6001]

Sencillamente hermoso trabajo .

Another grate vid mate hope ur good

[@paulconnaughton9274]

Nice job blaine as usual....how much should i charge approx per day for labour plastering, the customer supplies the product....cheers blaine...keep up the good work👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate. I really appreciate that! It's hard to say mate - without knowing how many walls you plaster a day I couldn't really provide an estimate. Its all depends on your output to be honest pal

[@kaimichael5444]

Hi pal I've been using weber ocr for while now. Just 1 question do u not have to mesh in 1st pass. Which I have been doing all time. Am I wasting my time meshing. Or just mesh stress points.

[@therussells1678]

Hi mate, do you not think you need to paint surfaces with pva or sbr? I work on a lot of chimneys so interested in learning a bit?

[@echoic-yl5wj]

Great video

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate!

[@Jamiemlux]

Great video. I’ve just had a door blocked up and outside I need to render to try to match to the original. Can I mix pebbles with this type of render? The wall I’m matching with is pebbledash

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

You hurl the dash on top Whilst the render it still wet. Work in smash sections and you’ll be fine 👍

[@MattsNerdWorld]

Hi mate. I've got a small wall 3 x 3. Scratched it last year. Long story short other projects took over. My q is. Is it still OK to hit a top coat if 1 year apart and if so what prep would I need to do to save it. Cheers in advance.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Hi might. I'd be tempted to pressure wash it (remove algae) and then you should be good to go!

[@twillum]

Is that a stop bead or an expansion bead between the two panels. Thanks again!

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Hi I’ve watch a load of your videos but you never say how long the job should take any chance you could let us know how long each job took you

Would tendering work on a concrete wall that has oil paint on it?

[@cardiffboy7498]

you should use a serrated straight edge blain you dont have to scratch it then !!

[@chrisball2258]

Great video as allwaysb

[@southoxfordshirplastering2793]

A very good video Blaine, I’ve used this product myself and I agree it’s very nice to use and work with, much like using hardwall really. One thing I will say which is important is, Webber, like Krend, Parex and all the other brands, will only honour the guarantee IF you are an approved applicator of the product. I.e. you have paid and attended their own courses. 99.9% of the time rendering issues come down to applicators error and that could include weather conditions, time of year, timings, suction control, techniques etc etc. the list is long and that’s what people having ago need to understand or they’ll have a bad day😢 Very good and informative video though mate 👍

[@lorrielp222]

I need a render back of the house, old render has been taken off, looking for OCR weber render

[@leegorman3329]

is this stuff breathable compared to s&c?

Its way more breathable than s/c

Is the bead in there an expansion bead Blaine?

[@jamescatterall4832]

can you skim over ocr for internal wall?

[@healeydave]

You say in your videos, you'll leave links to the products 😂 There's about 20 different Refina sponges, mainly for tiling.

[@RossWood-gp4lb]

One thing I find is the price difference from s&c which puts me off using it for big jobs, will lose out if pricing against people using s&c. Where are you picking it up from? Decent price per bag?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I get it from Jewsons in Tunbridge Wells. I get it cheaper but to be honest I wouldn’t go back to sand cement now. My prices haven’t changed but I get the job done faster and the peace of mind is worth it. I still do well from the job so I’ll take it. But you are right….these systems can get expensive!

[@rockroll456]

💪🏻👍🔥

[@Chanesmyname]

I always watch when people fit outside spotlighting after having it rendered, especially a KRend, if you they thought it was flat those spotlights show the surprise, bumps and bulges appear like bad magic. You are right too, the level is the whole thing for a prefect finish.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Ha that’s so true. My worst fear is knowing there’s down lights because it’ll show EVERYTHING! Even a god plasterer should be scared 😂

@PlasteringForBeginners Love your videos! By watching them and practising on an inconspicuous area, I've managed to completely overboard and skim the entire upstairs of my house, saved me a fortune. Loving the rendering videos too, I'll be starting on the garden next year and so will be rendering a lot of bare brick to tidy it up. Keep up the good work.
