tyrolean advice needed

[moonlightandjj]

Hi
I need a little bit of advice regarding tryolean, which I can't find anywhere.

After you have applied the scratch coat, and the second coat, do you then wait for the second coat to dry before you apply the tryolean finish, or you do apply the tyrolean finish on top of the second coat straight after you have applied it before it has set.

I can't find this answer anywhere.

Thanks for you help

Hi'
After having applied the scratch coat and the second coat,allow this to dry out completely before you put on the tyrolean finish. I'm talking a couple of days minimum.You want the render to be as dry as possible to have some suction to allow for the build up of the finish. When you apply the t/finish itself,don't overload any one area,keep the tyrolean machine on the move all the time, the same as a paint sprayer does.Start at the top and work your way across the wall from side to side,coming down as you go.When each coat has steadied up a bit,repeat the process again and again, until you have the desired finish.DON'T OVERLOAD EACH COAT.You can always put more on but if you overload it will run and you will ruin the job Stir the mix occasionally as you go ,otherwise it will settle in the bucket or machine.A good dry day,with not too much hot sun is perfect weather for this job,(if there is such a day)you don't want it to dry out too quickly. It can be messy though so cover up windows,doors,anything you don't want to be coated.
