Hi,

What is the product used in this video, Patch and Prep to fix the render beads to the bricks or masonry blocks?

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks heaps!

Is there an alternative? I've been to the stores and out of stock. Or could it be discontinued?

Best regards,

Ian

A standard render can attach the beading to the external corner @IanP. Trowel a small amount of render onto the corner and then press the beading firmly on it. Scrap off any excess that squeezes through. Wait for the render to firm up before overcoating the corner.

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks heaps!

I actually tried the standard render prior to asking this question and it did not work for me. Silly me!

After reading your reply and watching the video again, I realized my silly mistake.

I was putting the bead on the corner of the masonry blocks and then putting the render on.

I tried it again this weekend and it worked this time. Putting the render first and pressing the bead onto it.

Best regards,

ian

Hello @IanP 

It's good to hear you've managed to make progress with your rendering. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of your progress so far? I'm sure our members who are planning rendering projects of their own would be keen to see your work.
