Hi all, i hope someone can shed light regarding render finishing of the kitchen wall.
Here in WA, based on research, we use hardwall/lime plaster after concrete render.
My question is that, are there other alternatives i can use prior to painting?
Concerned about the curing time, as apparently, above is 4-6 weeks?
Is there anyway to fast track that, or are there other alternative? Currently comparing Davco Render or Dunlop Acylic Render as both curing times are only 7days?
Thank you all.
Hello @atmatic
The Davco and Dunlop state that it cures in 7 days, but it also depends on the weather conditions and the application thickness of the render. The interior part of the render could possibly still be full of moisture. Unfortunately, there is no way to short cut the process. It must be allowed to cure naturally in order for it reach full strength. painting or tiling over it too early could possibly cause the paint and tiles to come off due to the trapped moisture inside.
However, please let me double check with my teammates and see if they are aware of any alternatives.
Let me also call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.
Thank you for your patience.
Eric
