How I Render Brick Walls Outside Exterior cement rendering acrylic

Love watching these typa videos 😊

Good job

Dumb question.

Is this suppose to turn the walls into a modern thing or was this supposed to reinforce the brick walls?...

Great video Mac. Just wondering whether on a 750mm high garden wall, which is built on a good footing 150mm below the paving level, can this be rendered down to the footing? The 150mm below paving has a 3/4" stone chipping fill to make like a drain channel to a soakaway. Concerned that the capillery action will blow the render.

100% agree with going over the sbr wet 👌👌

If this is a portland cement stucco how does the brick masonry breath?

thanks bro plastering science

You're great, mate. love your videos been watching them for years. Learnt a lot from you but are you supposed to render below dpc, why do you not put a bell bead on?

You make it look so easy!

👏👏🙌🏼❤️

Nice job, but i would of cut the bricks out turned them round or replaced where necessary, as now it has to be maintained with paint through it's life and any new homeowners might wonder what it's is hiding and effect the selling.

Thanks Mac!

What is sbr?

Came here to see if I should put my coin on before scratch coat or after, I think it’s after, but I learned so much from you, many thanks for this video. Subscribed!
I’ve always followed the mix ratio on the plasticiser bottle so my mix as generally been 1:4, man! No wonder I’ve been having problems.
Would you use 1:2 on an external stone mortar wall.
I got too many questions

Very helpful Thanks

nice tip about the glue

do plasterers not scud the walls before the first coat anymore?

Now dissolve me
Two tabs on your tongue
A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep
Sleep now, my only one
Broken sweethearts, ah
Who sleep apart
Both still pine for the other's side spine
Spoon as sleep starts

Hi great video. Do I water down the SBR? Also can i squirt washing up liquid in the cement mix?

To many illegals in are country

You Should have meshed the cracks In the brickwork lol

This is not rendering it's pure art quick question I had my house plastered a few years back unfortunately in some areas the paint is chalky any advice will be really nice

why did you not scud the walls before you put on a scratch coat?

Good job you can stick a metal corner bead but it needs to be as close brick as possible but more straight with a corner

I had a whole brick wall rendered, with 5 years it had blown and peeled off, never again

all the plasterers i know all use SPR in lancashire have been for years,

Cheers mate....Your videos are ace !

Not professional I can teach him how to plaster

Great work dicky

PART 2 sand and cement render smooth @

Are you bridging the dpc , I can’t really see, obviously you wouldnt do that, would be great to do a video on , why you shouldn’t bridge a damp proof course👍🏻

Oh, sorry I forgot to say....so many cowboys in Australia...they pick up a trowel and call themselves plasterers....lol....

I was a UK plasterer and now live in Australia....plastering trade is so bad here...they never put a scratch coat and they wonder why the render falls off....lol

Good informative video.

Pointed a chimney in pole glass last week & house in Durham street last month mixed SBR & PVA together in the mix. The next day the pointing was all white & looked a mess & I was always wondering why that was😂 Stopped using SBR because I thought that was the issue. They also smell like nail varnish remover when mixed together.

Soft or sharp sand.

So impressive, i wish i had that special arm, i've watched houses being rendered in my area, some cringeworthy most a nice job, i know roughly how long it takes but the trades in my area charge like a wounded rhino or i've just had the wrong guys in to quote.

Have you used an external render bead? I never saw

Only a idiot would render over face brick, aside of that the pointing should have been removed in places to give the render a better key to the brick,give it 5 years and that will be full of hairline cracks which will trap rain water and lead to damp.

straight lines not wavy? not hating just wonder why you do the straight 👍🏻

Great Video as ever mate. Would you be up for doing an interview on my 'Ask The Plasterer' Live Stream in about 6 weeks time? Would be great to have you on the show. Let me know. Eric 😀

You need to get the red render-grip, it’s so consistent in holding the background and an extra coat of waterproof on that red brick 🧱 before the scratch

hi mac i like to see a plasterer going left to right ( i,ll probably cop it a bit for that , ) and a small point when i do a scratch coat i leave it until its slightly more firm , weather can be a factor , or timing etc i just dont really like how scratching early makes high spots, just my way take care from alister

You're a beast how fast you get the mud on the walls

Great video mate

Thanks for this upload, Nice background information on prepping over brickwork, when to scud or SBR, ratio's etc 👍💪

Some grate tips there mate 👍👍👍
