-Silicone render- Applying basecoat

[@G2020-]

Why would you not just mesh it all?

[@renovationgroup1983]

There wasnt any need to, them boards are 100% solid, thats sort of like saying why not scrim all the plaster boards up before plasterimg, it really doesnt make any difference at all really does it

@@renovationgroup1983 bollocks. Render boards should be fully meshed. Cowboys

Come back when you know what your on about haha

[@blakeevans2963]

I see both your points but never have I seen just meshing the joints. Wonder how that would fall under the guarantee if a crack occured???

Hi I see u r using johnstones I'm using johnstones for 1st time on my next job. What's the basecoat like etc. How much water do u put in topcoat silicone. I flaot finish normally

[@renovationgroup1983]

Hi yeah its good stuff to use johnstones the basecoat is nice to use i add a bit of accelerator for this time of the year ive moved back to krend not tho as its cheaper per bag, i only put a pint of water in any more and it goes too sloppy but some people do put more in, i spray finish and float finish floating is better but more labour Intensive on large walls

Are you rubbing base coat up or flatting in with sponge

[@renovationgroup1983]

Rubbing the basecoat up with a sponge float but most of the video has been cut out as it was too long
