[@Foxxiel]

Your videos just get better. Thanks so much 👌🏻 xx

[@yerzhanabilakhatov9099]

you gave me a great experience! I have been doing this for many years but you are a master of your craft!

[@yerzhanabilakhatov9099]

thanks for the experience

[@bangstick4446]

Been doing it for years mate , I use the mesh for first coat tho

[@pat9859]

What a lovely job pal

[@Individjual]

Damn, your good. Hard to find tradesmen like yourself.

[@johnhart4524]

I'm 58 and never used the materials you are using or the power tool. Will try this on a small job first to get a feel. Thanks

[@Mgt461]

Excellent vid and very well put together and very informative. You used some techniques, materials and tools that I’m going to try out. Thanks for the vid.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate. I really appreciate that!!

[@Billy-dl7yg]

Top job mate👍, it's a game changer isn't it, started using it about 8-9 years ago, don't think I've used s an c since

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It’s great stuff mate. I don’t I’ll go back either to be honest - it’s a game changer

[@rbbuildsandleisure1470]

Great vid thanks, I have been using those sponge floats for ages they are brilliant, get yourself a Washboy grouting bucket they make cleaning the sponge floats a doddle

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Great advice…cheers pal. I’ll look into it 👍

[@simongb7897]

Watched your other content for a bit of an education on my outside garden wall, heard about this OCR so I'm going to give it a go.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It’s good stuff mate! Good luck my friend

[@andrewhannah3826]

another excellent vid and very informative as always. Off the subject of rendering about a month ago you put up a video on how to apply plaster to a wall With a roller and at the end you informed us that you were going to do a more in-depth video on the subject. If so when could we expect to see a follow up. Many thanks and great channel.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Good point my friend. It’s coming in the near future - just sorting a few things and I’ll get it done. But it’s due, don’t you worry 👍

[@Trowel1892]

Top job Blaine looks mint

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate!

[@JayE1996_]

Me and my old man have always used this. Will mesh first coat would never mess about with a sand cement mixer

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It’s good stuff mate!!

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Excelente y muy hermoso trabajo felicidades saludos 👊👏👌🏻💪💯

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

👍👍👍

[@davidbarnett8002]

Hi mate looks great im no plasterer but want to do some planters on concrete block do i have to mesh it ?

[@kevinhiggins373]

Looks like a brilliant product !

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It is pal!!

[@matthewsmyth284]

I've used webber for years. It's bang on

[@Oggmiestergeneral]

Very helpful video! Thanks…

[@peterjones6226]

Another well explained vid. Definitely be giving this product a try on my next rendering job Cheers Blaine 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate. All the best my friend 👍

[@cvickz9791]

Brilliant video pal. We are just using the new render Weber oc... How soon do you use the power float after applying the second coat? Thanks pal 👌👌

[@mikesaul8711]

Just blown me away Blaine, is it breathable??, kind regards Mike.norfolk.

[@darrylfranklin7490]

Never mind that pre grit, Use Webber rend aid for your scratch and leave it a couple of days to cure If you find it expensive for a scratch you can half and half it with sand and cement, Amazing product, Then top off with the OCR , No issues, Whatever you use Scratch should be left to dry a few days !! Basics of rendering

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I’ll look into that mate…cheers 👍

[@NastyRhythm]

yer thats what webber told me to use too. Rendaid with mesh

[@marksavory4136]

Blaine good vid we got some external walls to do on a pool building so going to get a Refina power float as well as diamond floats can I ask why you don’t use the sponge that comes with the power float ? Thanks mark from wolvo

[@peter150388]

With OCR it’s a one coat system, why did you apply in two coats, scratching the first?

[@Hazardpro]

Totally agree. It’s a one coat application

[@nigelsladdin6856]

Brilliant video

[@July-A7]

Very good job, but who in their right mind will decide to render a great looking facing brick wall? If you were puting external insulation, sure. Also, it's best to embed a mesh in the first coat.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

👍👍

[@ExposeClothing]

can you do a video on the difference between Hardwall plaster basecoat, and cement acrylic render? and what if you wanted to keep your walls rather thin? can you use less?

[@stepheno2462]

Great video.

[@gordonbennett3763]

Hi, your videos are great! Would you put mesh in between your coats of OCR? Thanks

[@andykelly4056]

These vids are great 👍

[@marktran5076]

Hi. May I ask why do you have to do it in layers.? Cau you just do it in 1 layer like sand and cement mortar?

[@AzadKhan-nh2le]

thats really informative great advice

[@paul1969g]

Hi Blaine love your videos top notch , just wondered what length of refina float would you reccomened? Many thanks

[@cvickz9791]

Great video pal. We have just applied 2 coats of the oc Webber ...how soon after can we power float it. Thankyou pal 👌👌

[@casade2831]

What about spraying it? I think you forgot to talk about that. 👌

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Very good point my friend - great future video ☝️

[@karolbianga3631]

I don't have much room it this area, because I never spray, so it's just a question to someone who done this before, but wouldn't you need labourer?

[@b.c.f.c.redarmy7027]

​@@PlasteringForBeginnersok mate can you put waterproof in this stuff if I wanted to scratch 1 day & top coat the next. Cheers

[@chrsrans1]

Hi mate, is it possible to skim and tile over weber ocr on internal reveals. Is there I primer that I could use. Cheers, Chris.

[@shodan198]

Top class vid mate

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you very much 👍

[@georgelambertpt]

Top vid as always Blaine 👍 Quick question.. if I'm breaking down large walls into smaller sections, would you recommend expansion beads to do this? Cheers!

[@FirstLast-yj4ri]

Exactly the same question that I have!

[@jeffyoung321]

Hi, love your videos.. Can I ask, if you were rendering a garden planter, what render would you recommend using for the top edge where water is likely to sit when it rains? Thanks.

[@davidcleveland4344]

Hi are there any breathable primers/pre grits for outside use?

[@josephstratti52]

If the walls are straight can you apply the first scratch coat with a roller flat it then scratch it instead of trying to do it with the trowel?

[@denisconor648]

Great stuff

[@paulcozma4911]

Nice job!!👍👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you!

[@deptheocd1982]

Always been old school S&C what’s the water ratio for hand balling this product?

[@petevito]

Great job...

[@davidwhite3004]

Does weber render stick well to cement board and do you need to mesh the cement board first? Thanks for any advice given

[@chriswilliams2004]

Hi Blaine, thanks for sharing these videos mate, they really are a great help. Do you mind if I ask, that if I were to use webber ocr in the coming weeks and presumably it will be still cold. Would it be a case of putting the two coats on, ruling off and floating the following day? Or does this stuff set the same day like a traditional rendered wall? Thank you

[@jim-wt8xb]

For difficult substrates (some paint remains and mixed construction of brick and concrete), would a mix neat SBR and sharp sand provide an adequate key for Weber one-coat base coat? Or would you suggest something else on a tight budget?

[@Pelt101]

Great stuff, But….. try to get the same colour match if it needs a repair in future. Impossible!!

[@siazare6142]

Hi Can you please tell me, which material is suitable for applying over waterproofing walls???? Please tell me Thanks

[@extremewanted]

Hi, Does it not require the net that goes before scratching?

[@jdc9128]

Hi blaine , i have a job that requires webber ocr over marmox board that has been fixed to blockwork, ive only ever worked with sand and cement, the job requires 20mm thickness to as there has been brick slips stuck on plinth that are are 13mm proud , is it the same system for 20mm in doing 2 passes the same day or are you better scratch coat and top another day ? Thanks joe

[@Matt-yl2ok]

Hi Blaine another great vid can I put normal accelerator in with this product I used it today and took ages to be able to float .. first time using and I did like it 👍🏻 thanks mate

[@NastyRhythm]

can you paint over this OCR with regular masonry paint?

[@seanwalsh1613]

Yes mate or silicone top it

[@NastyRhythm]

@@seanwalsh1613 awesome thanks bud One thing I wanted to ask, is if I were to do a scratch coat first, could I leave it like a day or so before doing the top coat? Can't get much ocr currently and only have enough to do a scratch coat. So was hoping I could scratch coat it and wait till it comes back in stock Also I'm going to rendering onto breeze block.. would i need to use a mesh for this?

[@leetyas8839]

Any reason mesh isn't used here?

[@KieranWalsh-lm2eh]

Hi, your videos are great and really helpful, thank you. I am a little lost, as on one of your other videos you advise against using Monocuch render but OCR is Monocuch??

[@julianlyons711]

Great content

[@Gardener_68]

Hi just came across your channel, great and informal videos. Can I use this render to repair external walls. There are some parts of old render that have come off my house external walls. Thanks

[@markbarratt4672]

Hi Blaine . Can this product be used over 2 days as a scratch coat on 1st day and top on coat on the 2nd day the same as traditional render ? I ask as we have a huge gable end to render , client dosen't want wall broken up with beads .

[@gaetanocapasso7247]

What about armouring with mesh in between the two coats?

[@biggy12uk93]

Hi Blane, love the vids. What cement would you recommend Portland or Masonary for rendering onto Celcon/Thermalite blocks also what miz ratio would you suggest for the scratch coat and top coat? many thanks

[@nicholasbehan5373]

Bloody hell im buying a power float I’m rendering my house 37 years a spread Thanks mate Nice work ?

[@jondowling720]

Hi Blaine. Great video. Can you paint over OCR once dry. Thanks

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Yea mate

[@jacl4636]

Cheers for sharing the knowledge again mate. Can’t wait to give it a go on my next landscaping wall. Will probably try the Refina diamond and sponge floats too Great to see people like you sharing what you know. Oh, it’s Voila, not Viola 👊🏻

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate and good luck. You’ll love them… And thank you but the correction 😂😂

[@fcolon1976]

I want to do this to my house foundation but it has stucco on it, do I remove the stucco first or can I apply this right over it? Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@steerpike50]

Great vid thanks

[@goldeneye006]

Can you use an sbr slurry instead of pregrit

[@AnthonyPugh15]

This stuff looks great , so it’s fine to finish even tho it says base coat on or do you use something else for the top coat ?

[@4664005]

Would it work if the bricks are painted? I would really appreciate a response if there is a way to make it work over painted bricks. Thank you!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Yeah but I'd make sure the paint isn't flakey first and use a Rendering Pregrit beforehand to prime the brickwork

[@cakerer]

Is this ok to use on previously rendered wall with blown bricks? Is it ok for filling voids between bricks or should I repoint first?

[@grumpygrandpa3640]

What’s cheaper though the old sand and cement method or this premix. I always thought these premix bags where just for spot repairs

[@owenbutcher1954]

Excellent

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks mate!

[@amandahimsworth7363]

Hi there. Love this product but wanted to use it over Yorkshire stone. Do you think it would be suitable if I use mesh and bonding agent with it? Or do you think I’ll need to do a cement render instead fully or just cement to fill in the ridges (which are quite shallow) then could I use OCR? Also could I use it on mullions? Or you think cement is better? Cheers for any help as I’m struggling to get much help from the company directly and I’m quite new to this game.

[@stupydcollier2637]

I'm sure you said it's one coat ,and the bag says it's one coat ,why the two coat process

[@Ross-y8c]

If you lay it on too thick it’ll be too heavy and it’ll start to sag. This can lead to a wavy effect in the finished product. It’s just easier to do two or three thin coats.

[@Almas1297]

I need this on my external walls .. does this prevent walls from absorbing water ? Or does it need to be painted with water seal?

[@LJHPlastering]

Hi Blaine, Are you using 6mm thin coat or 10mm beads accepted first ever job using Weber ocr so just wondering Thanks Luke.

[@umarhussain8543]

Which product silicone render colour would you use to finish the job?

[@francis9382]

I have a bungalow with P pebble - dash walls , is it possible for you to make a video on how to cover pebble dash walls with this new one coat render and the best way to a plie it...(do you use the Mesh or not ) I seen so many different ways of render( one coat) on videos Can you help Frank

[@Raveworship]

Blaine, is this a more expensive solution than sand and cement please? I have large garden wall areas to render and I am just starting out. I just don't know what would be more cost effective

[@andycurtis164]

Amazing but one question. Can that be painted

[@bigmik3566]

Hi. What is best silicone render Weber or k rend or this stuff?

[@lukewalker2804]

Would you not recommend any render mesh to go inbetween coats?

[@abdulaziz-pb5ni]

Will this work over lime plaster for my cellar

[@berusbogzniszczenia4359]

Can i use this ready mix for window sill ?

[@ericjones2392]

How long do u leave it till u sponge it ?

[@jondowling720]

Hi Blaine, what is the average coverage per bag. Thanks

[@barrybloggs22]

Thanks for your great videos, my wall is to big to tackle in one go, is it possible to do a section at at time then join up with another at a later date ?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It’s not a good idea with render mate. It doesn’t join well - it needs to be finish together unfortunately

[@barrybloggs22]

Thanks mate

[@Skim902]

Hi Blane quick question do you think it would be ok to use ocr on a scratch with waterproof.

[@matthewflanagan8654]

Hi Blaine what depth are the render beads do you use for the OCR. Videos are brilliant btw, gives me the confidence to give it a go!

[@hayter68]

how long after final coat can you decorate with paint?

[@jamessullivan3829]

How thick can this ocr be applied on each coat?

[@artfulsplashertees]

Will you see that plastic thing you nailed into the wall once finished?

[@user-xc7gb8gj6r]

Is it the same batch for scratch coat and top coat ? And do you not mesh the scratch coat?

[@jaffatanski]

Could this be applied to a sand/cement scratch coat?

[@williammacphee335]

Superb mate as always. Off subject (as other comments) What would you say is best flexi trowel about? I was using raf superflex2 and was decent enough but now has a kink in it that I can get out lol. Heard ox flex is very good but never used ox haha

[@bullmastiffkent3309]

How long does this have to be left to cure before painting? Cant seem to find the info on this

[@bigmik3566]

I'm guessing this isn't the same as silicone ones. But also have you used a base coat product for both coats? Is that the final coat?

[@deangoundry]

What head do you use on the power float ?

[@jonesconrad1]

Why don't you pink grip the beads on? Genuine question

[@dalibormilanovic3831]

Does anyone knows what to mix with render so it doesn’t get dry to quick ?

[@Grumpyoldman782]

Hi Blaine, This vid is an absolute godsend as I'm psyching myself up to render our block planters. Would you recommend using a mesh on the base coat or just the scratching ?

[@Trekz86]

Brickwork doesn't need mesh. Obviously it'll make the render stronger and theres no harm using it but if the brick is going to crack the render will crack

[@james00021]

Hi Blaine. I know this is a bit off topic. But just wondering if you know any other way of insulating and preventing damp in a bathroom using the solid plastering method rather than moisture resistant plasterboards?
