Nice video. I didn't know scrim tape could be used outside. I get good results using Tou Pret Murex mixed with a small amount of quality caulk. Just to give it a small amount of flexibility. And doesn't shrink.
Ive used the zinsser mesh tape on cracks, its very fine, it can be applied with a thick coat of paint...it curls up a bit though. Im not sure if they still make it.
Imhe, expanding foam method is easiest and most reliable for curing cracks - they don't come back. Using Toupret touprelith f and sandtex trade on current job, which was a flakey, failed mess thanks to previous 🤠
I assume that’s the tub of exterior filler that Brian said he’s got for you, When I saw him at Brewers. Ps. Ignore the negative comments Phil. I note you never see a video put up by those that put a negative comment.
Sorry Phil, only just got around to watching/leaving a comment. ‘Cracking’ video, as always! Are you at the Midlands show in Mansfield on Friday? Come and find me if so - I’ve got something for you to try!
Yes, hard as nails. I mean put it on as flush as possible then skim over with your exterior filler after? Would be interesting to know if it did flex with the crack.
What a load of rubbish to do it properly cut back 75mm either side of crack back to brick eml it then render back uo. Lol or just oay someone who knows what there doing
When you apply that filler, lay it off with a wet brush, not a sponge. If you do it properly, you don’t have to sand it. You want it to blend in with the render, not see the repair. You’re welcome
I haven't watched this yet but I will. I have this exact problem so thanks in advance Phil 👍🏻

Sandtex used to make a bituminous based product with mesh it was very good.

How wide do you need the gap for expanding foam lol

Yep. Weighs a ton lol
Well... 25kg ;)
Just rake out the crack and use sand and cement. Then you got materials which may be used for many other tasks in future.
and the crack that keeps opening up when the weather changes and it being on clay soil/ground that alterers with weather conditions?
when blending put the sponge in a polythene bag.
so I can use it another day?

How to fill a crack... How very dare you! 😂
Really thinking outside the box. What about repair care?

metolux metoset repair resin then fill over
what happens when the wall is moving?
Put a plant in front of it. To be honest if it’s moving it’ll still crack
Dust sheet on the floor ?

@liammcnulty7112 that why they have rubbers on the end of
pencils mate
just use sand and cement Phil exterior fillers are a Rip off
what when it opens up again?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator yeah tarmac ready mixed one coat stuff is good £12 for 25kg
Im absolutely no expert. But honestly id have cut out a section of the render around the crack and just re-rendered that section.
And when the crack comes back with the wall still moving?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator why is the wall still moving?
Was it not reinforced with rebar when it was built?
@@AntEloftheHouseofEl nope. It's only a planter, a basic foundation and built up from that.
