If you don’t have drop cloths you can use tarps, cardboard, or garbage bags.
Render colors include gray, off-white, green, blue, and yellow. You can also customize your render by mixing the colors.
Rent a mixing drill or mechanical concrete mixer from a hardware store to quickly and more efficiently mix the render mortar. Remember to wash off your tools after mixing the mortar so that the render doesn’t harden on them.
The first coat of render should around 5mm thick. Keep the bucket of render as close to the wall as you can so that if the render drips, it will go on the drop cloths.
Use an aluminum bar or a 2x4 foot (60. 96x121. 92 cm) plank of wood as your flat edge.
The scratching comb will create depressions in the wall that will help the second coat of render adhere.
Use a soft bristled brush instead of a sponge to give the render a brushed finish. You can do this while the render is still wet.
