Plastering & Rendering

Correct PVA glue mix and application when rendering

Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.06 PM

Can I check pls (I'm a DIYer): when doing external rendering, to prep the brick work before any render goes onto it, I should brush on a 2:1 mix of water:PVA onto the bricks and just as it becomes tacky, I should begin plastering. Correct or no?

hi there, In short, no is the answer. pva is water soluble. you would be better using SBR, which is waterproof. hope this helps Graham
