Post by nyck on Nov 29^th, 2004, 6:15pm

I've had the top half at the front and back of my extension rendered at the weekend.The next step is the tyrolean .
I after any advice and tips.
I've read the Blue circle data sheet, but still a bit unsure.
1)how far do you hold the flicker
2)Do you leave Each coat to set or all 3 coats at once

Any thing else i should know

You will need to build up a honeycomb layer over 3 or 4 sepearate coatings, avoid dense applications in any one spot and try to keep your application even and constant by continually moving the tyrol gun around.
Mix as you need as it sets quite quickly. Hold the gun about 18" from the wall. Piecings must be avoided, meaning the full wall must be done in full on each coat. Second and subsequent coats can be applied when touch dry or even the following day.
Give the wall a damp down before you start if it is very dry,tyroleaning is not that hard so just keep that gun moving constantly and avoid laying on thick patches.When the finish is built up to about 10mm go over light patches here and there with a quick burst of spray untill you have a unifomed even covering.
