K rend in the rain

[KTB]

So, our renderers went ahead today with the K rend application, in light wind and rain.

 

As they finished the first coat on half of the house this evening, the heavy rain started in earnest and is scheduled to keep going all night.

 

So, we are now looking for advice on what to look out for tomorrow morning in terms of potential damage and where to draw the line re: what's acceptable (if any damage is noted) before the job has to be halted please

 

Concerned.

quote from k-rend site:

Does the weather affect the product when being applied?

K Rend should be applied when it is 5 degrees C and rising. It should not be applied in very windy conditions, direct sunlight or damp conditions.

Once it’s been on a couple of hours it should be fine If the rain is heavy it can wash around the beads 

We normally add accelerator and rub it up the same day If night conditions are cold or wet

Look for a wash off - also if they are an approved applicator for K rend their work will be warrantied. 

 

K rend will also tell you the required conditions if it was OK.
