Johnstones HIbuild - any good?

[do_it_yourself]

Has anyone used this product, is it easy to apply / scrape off to level?

Do i need to key the exisitng wall for it to stick properly?

your thoughts would be welcome

It’s a high build exterior masonry paint, what exactly are you planning to do with it Or did you post the plastering forum by mistake!

I'm hoping it will fill the imperfections on the outer masonary, which is beginiing to flake off, some large clumps.

You say its a paint - but is there not a small pebble going through it?

It is a textured finish & these usually have crushed stone in them but it’s basically still only paint & will not “stick everything together”! If the surface of your external render finish is crumbling & flaky, just painting a textured finish over the top of it won’t hold it all together, you must repair the problem areas first & then paint it.
