How To Patch Wet Dash Pebble Dash Render and MIX RATIO cement (roughcast)

first time we done a video on patching wet dash it seems to have always been dry dash render but here it is mix ratio on the slap dash and the butter coat and scratch coat there is like 6 to 10 video son pebble dash and wet dash loads on dry dashing patch jobs but hopefully can cover this wet dashing patch's more in future #wetdash #slapdash #roughcast this is the way I would patch this kind of job and have done for many of years now with over 20 years at it and every day we improve and learn more and more on all aspects of plastering rendering and fibrous plastering and casting some times the change of doing inside plastering to outside rendering and dashing is brilliant as you never get board of the job

Roughcast or pebbledash is a coarse plaster surface used on outside walls that consists of lime and sometimes cement mixed with sand, small gravel, and often pebbles or shells. The materials are mixed into a slurry and are then thrown at the working surface with a trowel or scoop. The idea is to maintain an even spread, free from lumps, ridges or runs and without missing any background. Roughcasting incorporates the stones in the mix whereas pebble dashing adds them on top. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica Eleventh Edition, roughcast used to be a widespread exterior coating given to the walls of common dwellings and outbuildings, but it is now frequently employed for decorative effect on country houses, especially those built using timber framing. Variety can be obtained on the surface of the wall by small pebbles of different colours, and in the Tudor period fragments of glass were sometimes embedded

[@macplastering]

Thank you! Will do! many thanks for the feedback mate :):)

[@tomlipfriend17]

Cheers for the video worked a treat. Only thing missing is water ratio but I went slow and got it to the same consistency as yours. Great tip on loading the trowel to a smaller more even amount! Thanks!

[@macplastering]

So glad it's helpful my friend. Yes water is a hard one to say as if sand is wet it will take way less so its something that needs to be judged by the consistency wanted and needed 😉

Great job Joe.

Thanks buddy :)

[@Lizlen66]

For lay people please: would love to know the exact materials. You mention a waterproofing agent, what sort? Any particular type of sand and cement? Anything else, not sure I caught it all there... remember 4 to 1 sand to cement?

[@macplastering]

This gear is white sand and cement the sand can go by loads of names such as silver sand and silca sand I like the pink water proffer

[@macplastering]

hopefully in future can do more on these subjects and or just dedicate a video to additives ect

[@naturesmoments1297]

Fab video as doing similar jobs at the movement, one thing I was unsure of is mixing additives together feb mix, SBR and water proofer, couldn't find much online, thanks

[@macplastering]

Thanks for the feedback :) we do have a good few videos on sbr so you are most welcome to subscribe and have a look around :)

[@naturesmoments1297]

Thanks bud, just watched your video rendering old block wall, explains it well, cheers

[@macplastering]

@@naturesmoments1297 try the scud coat videos mate it's a pretty good mix for over a few old backgrounds

[@Machine-rx6wf]

Do you put any plas , waterproofers in your dash mix thanks ?

[@macplastering]

Yes mate just a taste of each same as my render mixes

[@jonathanpattison5108]

have you ever tried slapdash with 20mm gravel?

[@macplastering]

possibly the biggest i have used = ua-cam.com/video/v-ky1x4xf9s/v-deo.html the ones i video here a also biggish but i am sure we could do a bigger wet dash stone if we did deeper butter coat but would be hard on the arms as like in that video

[@noodles8203]

Another thing with plastering sand. The quality will never be the same becuase theres restrictions on how its graded amd washed. Something to do with enivroment concerns as they have to dispose of the slurry, and impurites. A lot of people are switching to OCR (bagged render) as its always consistent.

[@macplastering]

yes the bagged stuff dose seem to be getting a little moment seems more expansive I find sand we used top quality here but yes bad sand would make a bad job for sure

[@noodles8203]

@@macplastering It is more expensive. Good for smaller jobs maybe like that one you did. Im not sure if all the quarries are subject to these new environment measures, but i heard the plastering sand in some arears is full of clay, and other impurities. Maybe different where you are.

[@macplastering]

our sand still nice and gritty and clean yea too much clay is bad bad will make cracks big time like using building sand

[@lmilne4859]

Real pain in the ass that type of job more so with the wet dash. Your damm good at tho nice job. Never use a dashing brush on the wet dash. Maybe seen the American dude runs a stucco company think
His name Kirk

[@macplastering]

yes seen him do that with a brush would be easy enough for sure but doubt you could put bigger stones in with the mix thanks for watching and commenting mate

there is other trowels dashing trowels in links used to be a wooden handle one online but seems to be gone but refina and ox do nice ones that i also have and use a lot on jobs / vireos

[@noodles8203]

Theres nothing more you can do with those kind of jobs. They are messy, and will never get it perfect. Once its dry and painted it looks miles better.

[@macplastering]

For sure man they are very hard to patch same as most outside work haha
