What the f**k was that last statement all about, you are talking complete gobbledegook!!
Have you any idea what ashlar work is J.B.
as you know legs or pretend to know, ashlar work is 3 coat work, firstly a scratch coat and spatterdash coat if necessary, then a floating coat, ruled, rubbed up then scratched, are you still with me, then the finishing coat and remember the best quality of sand should be used for the finishing coat and all stones and inpurities removed. Do you need to know how its marked out. As you know ashlar is decorative and can be described as simulated DRESSED stonework, insidently the name ashlar refers to a type of smooth faced stonework. now do i have to explain why the waterproofer is in the top coat, unfortunatly that paint that freddie talks about wasnt around when lets say central library was being built and other buildings scattered around the world were being built so the waterproofer in the top coat is to protect the decorative finish. thank god freddie never invented that stuff years ago or central library wouldnt look as special in cream.
Yes J bonding I
would like you to explain why there is water proofer in the top coat of ashlar, again...eigth time now.
I did not ask you what ashlar work is I asked you why add waterproofer to the finish coat . I will ask you again,
WHY ?
Why will it not do all those things you are at pains to tell us will happen to plain floated walls. Is there some mysterious ***** dance or spell you can cast?
Your questions on Ashlar work:
Quoins, Keystones, window linings, verge bands, raised bands, plinths, strings. They are the ones I use and am familiar with...Did I miss any?
jointing : 1.Ashlar Jointers come in varying shapes and sizes but standard being 6mm.2 Recessed joints using timber lath,3 Vee hoints using a modified wooden float.4 square snecked rubble stonework joints.....Whoops we are up to four already and J.Bonding only knows three!
Who says Ashlar has to be three coat work anyway? unless specified it is two coat and I have done more than you can shake a sh***y stick at. Using for your other question on setting out gaugeing staffs, Chalk and string lines, straight edge rules etc etc
Dont try and get one over on me J.B. because I will come back at you with more detail, experience, fact and technicallity that will make your empty little head spin.
Another question for you as well as the waterproofer one ....Go through the process for me of making corner Quoins from a mortar mix, you asked me some questions now I want to know if you have any idea yourself.
thought id just answer you legs, before the pubs open, quote legs "Yes J bonding I
would like you to explain why there is water proofer in the top coat of ashlar, so the waterproofer in the top coat is to protect the decorative finish. quote legs "Quoins, Keystones, window linings, verge bands, raised bands, plinths, strings.

im still waiting on the facts of pva and waterproofer, honestly legs ive probably forgotten more than you and freddie know on the subject of plastering and rendering. your advising waterproofer in every coat on one post and advise not to put it in the scrastch coat on another post please explain yourself.
