So the house I live in has been wetcast and I hate it. I would like to have it smooth rendered.
My plasterer, nice chap, works hard, but is relatively young, has tried and failed to smooth render it.
He PVA'd it for adhesion, but the scratch coat he was trying to apply simply fell of.
He reckons it was falling off because of the relatively new Dulux Weathershield masonry paint. So he tried to key the surface a bit by taking a shovel to it. No good. The wetcast is solid as a rock. Would be easier to knock the wall down (not an option obviously).
Any suggestions ?
regards
