show you how we got this finish how we brought this big gable down and I'm going to go through
every step of the way over a few videos all about the Scud coat the foundations of
we're going to do everything else and holds the whole job together the second video of this
rendering series is going to be all about the second coat the scratch coat third video top
coat of sand cement render will be all about apllying the render ruling
it off and getting it straight ready to be rubbed up and finished last but not least
on this series is going to be about a applying and finishing the acrylic weather just as shown here
MAC subscribe MAC plastering scratch coat today um had this all it's got probably
about 42 hours ago so two days ago and anything that was wobbly a couple of wee bricks of where we
got sauce it's all solid there and just gonna get the scratch cooled off and glad to see that
popping at all so Turtles on the walls guys that's where you're gonna actually earn the money or if
you're doing it yourself save the money so yeah I always start top to bottom and that goes for
nearly nearly all walls inside all right said Cinemas have to skip the ceilings let's start
top of the bottom do the settings first then do the walls yes sometimes it's handy just do a
couple of balls if you're having a time to do the seasons or you need about chassis or something but
back to the video right here so just cooking all my scratch coat and you're probably wondering what
what's the mix it's probably the main thing the one of the main reasons you want to watch these
videos is to learn the mixes and why why I'm using that certain mix so basically this good
coat mix that was on the previous video and this mix here is three to one that's three sound three
Plastering sound and once a month and that's mixed with water in a mixer and in the water
we add mortar mix and we add waterproofer as well they may also be a splash of asbr in this
code just to try and make it that'll be a bit stronger as well and also better for the next
coat and it's gonna help me get stick to the wall better make it a better so the adhesive at the end
of the wall basically if I can't be a bit sticky if you go too much with the SBR but like I said in
previous videos a little goes a long way as well and again there's the spr in there Scott coat so
everything's gonna be well bonded to the brick and I just sort of I'll go through something
with you and another big clip later just just sort of hardly address certain cracks and gaps
if you're you're worried about any crack areas or something there's some things you can do
to sort of help help prevent that no I'll go through that on another beat up here shortly
but yeah again the scratch code here you're not trying to go all awfully heavy with it
um but you are trying to build out any voids and you're trying to make it tidy as this is the code
you're going to be finished on top of and you don't want to lumpy bumpy and be honest for
the so much smooth and flat you can put a speed skim or this code or a spatula or you can even
straight edge it but it's not greatly necessary if you're gonna well depend on the Finish
um if we're gonna float it with this one's all going to get floated and then an acrylic rendered
over the top or silicone thin coat right in there or whatever whatever you want to sort of cut there
is a couple of different types but um yeah then once you get it all flat and straight and you're
happy with that it's time to scratch it up here and that's the scratch the scarifier that I prefer
the scratcher um I find that the best one I know some people do disagree but that that's okay I'm
gonna let my bead on here shortly but it's okay whatever you find works for yourselves guys is
it's a must it's a must do and keep keep doing what's working for yourself so we've got the
the very Peak done and the next left down so well that's the whole pig sort of scratched generally
crazy on us and we got our holes today so we're just cutting water onto it and splicing it so
yeah and strand very quickly that way so but I was doing out there guys just a dust water's a friend
so on all the rest I left stand up but we'll figure it out that's very very hot I think
it might have been scratching the day after it wouldn't have been as bad or if it had a the rain
had headed or something last night it wouldn't have been as bad but I think we're gonna have
to cop it and then splash it as we're cooking as well or our cup Saxons sort of between bar to bar
so that was that we accept ours to show you these guys and some of the things that that does happen
day to day on Plastering and random and obviously suction so trying to control the suction to your
advantage um again suction's not always a bad thing it does help make the sound cement bond
to the wall so that a wee bit of soften is a good thing um the only thing is with this one husband
Jana wee bit too quick and so we had really started sucking things down and just because
the stuff's easier applied and spared and keeps it up even neater as well and things can get a
bit potty and jointy if it's jammed too quickly you know between the joints and you don't really
want that as a code possibly in there yet on your top coat so you do you just you want every chord
to be as neat as possible I sort of covered that Squad as well and so the controlling the Scott
code to your advantage is a must and what what I said there was that we're going to start cutting
it down so that that's loads of water but forgot the hose so cop that down is just you really
saturating the wall and again you know you don't want it to be absolutely ringing all the stuff you
know could just sort of turn turn to just worry sound you know because if you if you absolutely
want to log a wall guys it it'll take a long time for certain areas the satin stuff as well and so
you want to avoid absolutely dress and things as well but a nice big spray of water isn't a bad
thing even on some block new block and stuff it's not really a bad thing but again now there's a
bit of suction it's not really a bad thing either it's just no one how to control it now if and this
quick and obviously your sketch coats are a bit thinner than your top coat but strand is quick on
your top coat it would be in you would be in big trouble because it would be a lot harder to finish
and you would struggle to get it smooth and stuff as well and so you don't really you know you don't
want that on your top coat again this guy's coat should kill a socks and that bit more because
we're layering out past the Brick we're coming out further away from what's actually causes all
the dry and we'll plan on actually floating on top of this and sooner rather than later
as well obviously not seeing they're gonna have to go hard maybe a day or two and the game will
bring the hose and make sure we'll have it wet down just to our lagging again the pig's a nice
place to test it out and make sure you know it's not too dry and one of the other things I wanted
to cover here is cracks guys and how do you all the ways you can deal with that is the fiberglass
mesh you can use expanded metal as well and you know make sure it's galvanized you know and you
don't want to be using just any type of exponent I'll make sure it's galvanized it is foreign
otherwise it can rust through and we've done this to every head on this whole job just to be safe
[Music] foreign's all scratched top to bottom and it is pretty pretty big giggle so it is um still
still more or less all the perhaps done but still sort of some awkward things to do baby front wall
it's very awkward a lot of windows and maybe roof I've cleaned it about 40 times today so
yeah some some awkward bits and but yeah seemed to be the lower we got the suction seemed a bit
damper so obviously the water in the walls are sucking sucking in the bricks and going down to
the bottom which wasn't too bad then so get a little bit neater and so they're not going to
be the party up the top and I think it'll pick it up too well in the camera and you sort of do
get that there with joint that's you know meat and top up down or technically or whatever but
yeah so far so good good three to one scratch on it and yeah happy enough that's everything
further forward the mouse yesterday so we're getting there
and don't forget guys the third video coming up next is gonna be High funny story and they're nice
and smooth and they're just gonna be plenty of tips on that so make sure and subscribe
if you're not and that one will be live next week everybody subscribe please machine [Music]
scud coating the old red brick wall ready to apply the 2nd coat of sand and cement render know as the scratch coat, scud coat is the most important layer here as its the foundation of witch everything else is applied to. we talk about applying the mixed scud coat to the mix itself giving what i put in and the ratios used of cement to sand. The next video will be all about that scratch coat again very important again applying the mud and scratching it up to leave a nice key / grip for the top coat the float coat . the 3rd video will be all about the float coat a finished job in its own right and many of house and homes are done this way and can be left with the cement finished look or even painted. the 4th and final video to this mini series will be about the acrylic render applying and finishing , so much detail in these videos that it had to be broken up into 4 parts so its easy to follow and so i can get the details into them so much to plastering and rendering I no doubt still left =something else out #cement #rendering #acrylic
