Workshop Mk2

Some renders say you can prime cracks and paint but I think you should probably give EWI a call and see what they say. Good luck :)
 
So, first wall was awful. Learned a lot since then.

1) proper paddle mixer. None of that paint mixer in my SDS

2) don't apply if there is any sun. Like at all. Or if it's any temperature above 'slightly chilly'

3) mesh the whole wall, then do top coat. It's sets a much smoother back

4) slop up a column, speed-skim it, don't touch it again until it's ready to sponge. Do another column

5) sponging - yea, don't finish at 9pm and not be able to sponge until morning.

6) don't leave the muck stuck to you getting wet repeatedly..... Ouch. My first chemical burn.

All that said and learned. I'm happy with the last and most visible wall

Nailed QS on trims, insulation and mesh... not so much the powder... Anyone want 7 bags of EWI-220?
