Bagging external wall

[nita05]

Hi there, 

Iam planning on using the bagging technique on an external garden wall. I want to do it with a salmon or terracotta colour. Can anyone recommend which oxide to use with which mortar? 

Thank you!

Hello @nita05 

Thanks for sharing your question about bagging your external wall. For your external garden wall bagging project in a salmon or terracotta hue, the store offers suitable oxide options. The Dulux Avista Oxide in Sandstone is a fine powdered pigment blend designed for colouring cement, mortar, rendering, and grout mixes. This oxide can help you achieve a warm, earthy tone. 

To create the desired colour, mix the oxide with a standard mortar mix, adjusting the oxide quantity to reach your preferred shade. It's advisable to conduct a small test batch to ensure the color meets your expectations before applying it to the entire wall. This approach allows you to fine-tune the mixture for the perfect salmon or terracotta finish.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
