Render drip bead

[James189]

Hi could any1 tell me at what point the drip bead goes on the damp corse level please

Put it on before the scratch coat. I usually run a 2"x1" batton all the way round the dpc and sit my bead on it.Then fix beads with "obo's" with washers. I also put a coat on the bead building it out abit, so when the scratch goes on it can go on top of that coat so you can keep the float coat all the same thickness.It makes it uniform when you float and sponge the bell bead in..

Put waterproofer in the scratchcoat and dampen down before you apply the topcoat.
