Hi all
We had the outside of our house rendered last week and before we crack on with painting, I've a few questions.
How long should we wait before painting?
Its been cracking the flags this week for 7 whole days (10 days since render was done). With rain forecast for Monday or Tuesday, ideally I'd like to give it it's first coat this weekend. Will it be too soon?
Sealing it...
After reading many suggestions, I think PVA is out of the question, but there are mixed suggestions on whether to seal or not. I am looking at Dulux Weathershield Masonry paint.
Other than that - any suggestions? Obviously apply with a decent roller, brush down any loose bits etc.
Many thanks
