Great series and very interesting. Two questions : 2:59 - Can you show how the yellow tear off strip works? It appears to be floating above the windows. Also, did you consider something like KRend which you can scratch after it sets, so it's not so important to get absolutely flat.
Thanks for this. I'll try to make a video of close ups of that tear-off strip when I do the next windows at the front. In terms of K-Rend, I did look at other systems but this seemed easiest to me. This is particularly because you could do it either with one coat of render or - if that coat wasn't perfect - could easily cover with another coat of render. Also the render and adhesive are the same so there should be a bit less waste. And finally, I chose the 1.5mm silicone render for the top coat which apparently covers up any slight unevenness in the underlying render. Although I haven't put any of that on yet so I'm yet to see how much it does actually smooth any slightly uneven parts. (And I'll make a video of that when I do it - which will be in sections - so everyone can see how much it does smooth any unevenness.) I hope this helps and do ask if any further questions.
Looking good. I forgot you had the silicon render to apply!
