Substrate Best Practices | Winter Working with K Rend

Substrate Best Practices

1. Substrates (backgrounds) should be kept dry, prior to applying the render.
2. Fastening deflection netting to your scaffold will assist you in protecting your substrate from the winter elements and is always good practice to have during your render project.
3. The adhesion and bonding characteristics of the render application onto substrates with high a moisture saturation will become problematic. This may cause a reduced bond for the render, causing weakness, where the lack of suction is dramatically reduced.
