Hi Mac,
Love watching you do your stuff!.
When you talk about adding “waterproofer”, could that be SBR, or something else?.
And how much would you put into, say, a bucket sized amount of mortar?.
Thaks buddy means a tonne so yes sbr should work but most time i do a little of both I would try a little less than a cap full mate
Great video
Thank you butler mate =)
Good work mac, love your video
Thanks colin mate more to come today and rendering ones coming in the next few weeks :)
Excellent 👍
Thank you! Cheers! Pat mate :)
It's really is a lovely skill . Great video thanks.
Thank you mate :)
Masterful technique. Great preservation of an old wall finish.
Thanks man dirty job all the same haha 😄 thank you again for watching and commenting mate
Great work....👏👏
Cheers buddy messy stuff all the same... on a big job other day n haha scud it all so messy

@@75clarkejones cheers man that's so true and getting cooler n wettet
Really nice work....
Thank you Michael mate ::)
good man
Thank you mate
A few new videos coming live should be a nice watch :) This Sunday and next :) might be some of my best yet
Do you keep scaffolding further out from.the wall to avert "scaffold scar"? Or how do you avoid that? Great work btw lads
On this one we did ask for a readjustment loads but never happened as it was to close but to help stop any scars I try dash it the same and keep what we say same hand at it so it is finish the same way same hand means same guy dose whole wall so his texture is the same
as a builder its one of the strongest bonds i have come across, as in trying to remove the bugger lol. 😅
Yea white render can be hard to get off to dry dash that is
Hay Mac
Great video
What are your views on lime as a plasticity aid.
Yes it for sure fluffs the gear up especially when dry dash but a big mixer just a half shovel full wouldt go mad with it myself
I use the hawk for wet dash instead of a bucket. That's the way everyone down my way was trained. Bucket for dry dash and hawk and scoop for wet dash
Never seen that before

Plastering 27 yrs myself. & your the first man iv seen with nothing covered? Meter box & soffit covered in slap dash. A wee bit of extra prep work in regards to covering those sort of things & you would have very little cleaning afterwards. Just a wee tip 😉
find it still needs cleaning myself especially when the stones cut the plastic then if its not cleaned it sets hard and is very hard to clean in behind and thats not what you want when it comes to windows but yes we covered them with boards and plastic sheets but still cleaned after i find cleaning and taping up that cleaning is faster but Yea i hear you user239-435u
@macplastering heavy duty plastic or heavy duty window cling... no holes,no mess so no cleaning... simple, problem solved... 👌
@@user-bc6rs8qo2s still seen that tear loads of job hence why it still needs washed otherwise you risk the parts missed again wish these guts had covered it up themselves would been great as we had no money to spend on getting the plastic or putting it on . So you cover all up and do t wash it at all just leave it all on corners ect ? Do you cover your sills bands and base detail ect I'm not saying covering is bad and we did use covering g and boards on windows just seems like you cover and don't think you still need to wash down?
How long should i leave the butter coat sitting before starting to apply the wet dash great videos lad.
Just until its tight/ firm don't wanna go to early
Hi Mac, I'm going to attempt to do a wall and ready now for the butter coat. One detail I'm not so sure on is the mix for the stones. I'm using a crushed granite which is pretty uniform in size to about 8mm. Could you advise further on the stone mix sand and cement please. Cheers Mike
How did you get in with the job mate?
@@macplastering Not great. My mix was too stiff and maybe the wrong sand so it was more like throwing mortar at the wall. Unfortunately I was really up against time as they were coming the next day with the ASHP to stand against the wall(150mm off). As you said "the mix is vital" so you might do a video on exactly that and I think it would be gratefully received. Also maybe make clear between 3:2:1 and 3:1 as they sound the same. I was disappointed and had to revert to the Terylene gun but it's not what I wanted. Thanks for asking. Cheers Mike
Aw yes could be a combination of things but will for sure get a video uploaded on the mix in future @@bathfamrer
I always liked the dash finish.. never see it in Chicago. Only bit of a dash in the fruit of the looms comming in to River North this morning at 4am....white of there eyes, was warm in the Chi....
Ye I hear not much plastering in the USA I would say but know they do stucco loads outside but yea don't see any1 doing dash unless popcorn dash

Hi mate hope your well......do you still use refina petrol mixer? Is it any good and did you have any issues with it?
Hi Danny buddy :) all good here hope you are too? .... I did use it in the summer still works ok dont use it loads so hard to give a real good review but it is strong and will mix a big bucket of gear
A few new videos coming live should be a nice watch :) This Sunday and next :) might be some of my best yet
The dash mix is 3 to 1? Is that say one sand two stone which gives three aggregate and then the one cement?Great channel btw
Think had it in previous wet dash video mate if not i will for sure make a video on this

Hi mate, how long would you wait for the butter coat to dry? So how soft shud it be? The same as you would leave it for floating? Thanks
Yes pretty much mate again time all depends on suction and weather but you could leave to next day this is way i prefer doing it in video might do a more detailed vid on this
So would you wait until its just stiff enough for your fingers to press a small dent in?
@@dhearne6918 Yes dry but still damp and not to soft as you don't want it to move when ya hot the stones in
Thanks again for the help mate appreciate it
@@dhearne6918 Any time mate always here :)
Sorry if i missed it but what's the ratio for the dash?
Think had it in previous wet dash video mate if not i will for sure make a video on this #slapdash #mix
Hi mac, do u use lime in the wet dash? Do u use any waterproofer in that mix? It looks a great job.
No added lime mate but yes water proffer :) think i have a video where i give my mix but do plan on doing a new version
Wet dash mix consists of lime cement & chips & water proffer & a wee shovel of sand to give it body.. I see you've replied wee wee with a comment saying no lime?? Most important ingredient in the mix for stick.. & iv worked with alot of plasters over the years & your the first man iv ever heard saying that ya don't add lime??
Is it easy enough to clean it once it's dry? I see bits on the sofas?
best done wet m8
Hi Mac what is the wet dash mix you are using is there lime in it thanks
Hi mate sorry for late reply I usually do 3 2 1
No problem.what size are your stone many thanks.
@@melissalazenby6668 These ones usually called slapdash stone or pin head I would say 10 mm at biggest size. I am ho[ping to do more on the mix ect in near future
You make look easy 😂🤣😂💪
Can get easier the more you do but truth is plastering is hard in general :)
I just done some repairs to old render its not fair you make it look too easy I got more on the floor than on the wall lol
Hi mate plastering can be messy and wet dash the dirty and messy of it all :) patching it can be hard work to mate
Hi looking a bit of advice , can I render over painted slapdash, thanks
Would be best to chip of and start fresh mate
I see in one of your other vids you rendered over a painted wall that you coated with SBR first, cheers
@@newry123 yes again if the paint was on thicker and covering to many the wee holes I would grinder at it some. but plenty of key as was and poant pretty tight again it could be possible to go over old dash but risky to
I cut lots of lines with a grinder into it before I SBR Slurry it. I hope that holds , thanks
@@newry123 with out chipping all of that would be your best bet m8
Got it in your other video Mac 3:2:1 3 stone, 2 sand and one cement. as apposed to 3:1.
Yes m8 sorry just seeing your comments for sure just do a wee test to make sure you get it just right ✅️
Well I know the mix so I'm confident. Watched the video a 100 times. Thanks for your help Man.
@@macplastering
@@bathfamrer have been meaning g to make a video on mixing it like a 5min on just mixing mostly let me know how you get on buddy
Good idea. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.@@macplastering
@@bathfamrer best of luck m8
You make the flick-on look easy. I happen to know it's not.
Sore on the arm after a full day coating the flicking the stones on
A few new videos coming live should be a nice watch :) This Sunday and next :) might be some of my best yet
Whats the mix
I do 3 2 1 mate 3 stone 2 sand 1 cement
Masking the facia and soffit
?
Or washing it after still have to wash if you cover it to be safe as plastic tends to tear and let some through
I can see wet dash is good as sometimes when iv dry dashed the stones can bounce off on hot days or slide on dry days. Fucking messy though 😂
yea dry dash in heat is a pain
Hi Mac, I'm going to attempt to do a wall and ready now for the butter coat. One detail I'm not so sure on is the mix for the stones. I'm using a crushed granite which is pretty uniform in size to about 8mm. Could you advise further on the stone mix sand and cement please. Cheers Mike
