			<![CDATA[I need to "spruce up" a couple of areas of brick garden wall and a freestanding brick pillar and thought I'd have ago myself. I have the tools and the various beads for creating a neat edge. Rather than use a sand and cement scratch coat, followed by a top coat, I thought I'd use a single coat, even monocouche product. It'll vary between 10 and 18mm thick. <br />Does anyone have experience of any particularly good, or indifferent products to avoid?]]>

			<![CDATA[I've used the thin film acrylic render as used on EWI on various items e.g.cement rendered pillars, brick work and OSB all with great success. (It has out lasted quality paint).<br />I have put it on with both a float and a brush. However I've never put it on thickly, (apart from the expense it would sag off) but if you don't want a flat smooth finish i.e. you can follow the lumps and bumps of the substrate then choose your colour and off you go.]]>

			<![CDATA[For the odd bag they seem to retail between Â£10- Â£15, obviously less in bulk. Contrary to tony's views, they have good reviews and can even be pump applied although not in my case, so thickness isn't a problem. <br />Initially I didn't look at the monocouche through coloured versions, only the simple grey finish for painting but I may widen my search.]]>

			<![CDATA[Some of the self-coloured monocouche stain badly after a time. Some due to algae growth and others due to high iron content that is in the sand. The latter particularly if close to the coast. I would for a garden wall go for a simple render and paint. Why not put a trellis against it grow some plants up it? Much greener.]]>

			<![CDATA[I used a K-rend through coloured one coat render that had a silicon in it on a facade 19 years ago, the renderer wasnâ€™t the best skilled , but today it looks little different to when it was first done. Building is about 500m from the coast , but does not face the sea directly, seagull sh1te that gets streaked down it usually washes off in the first few decent rain showers each year. <br />The nearest equivalent from the descriptions in the current product range seems to be Silicon K1. At the time i had to buy a full pallet as the minimum order quantity , so it got used on a couple of other jobs over the next few years, even well out of date it worked fine.]]>
