ToughButterCup Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 I need to crack on with our rendering / parging / slurrying. But it looks like there'll be a bit of a nip in the air soon. I have organised a cover for the parged / rendered / slurried area (well, I get moaned at if I get the term wrong ) Should I simply avoid the process in the very cold weather? Or is there some witches potion that we can add to the mortar mix?
PeterW Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Is this just an internal airtight layer ..? If so, it’s nothing to worry about ...
Cpd Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 I made the mistake of pointing before a cold snap, it became obvious that it had got frost damage and i used a high powered jet wash to remove all the damaged areas before repointing......

Onoff Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 You can get admixes from all the usual places e.g. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Sika-Wintermix-Chloride-Free-Admix+Frostproofer---5L/p/133788?CAWELAID=120135120001185214&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=52608956144&CATCI=aud-305024815433:pla-298182958475&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI36H-4-LA2QIV75XtCh3mQADbEAQYASABEgKa7vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds T'station do the Evebuild one I suspect might even be the same as the Sika stuff. Must be my Limerick roots but they do say the Irish wonder what the English do with the time they save by rushing! Explains a lot!
Declan52 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 You can put additives in the mix like kill Jack but it's better to just wait. 1
