Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Jun 29, 2008 1:24 am We're wanting to cover up the brickwork outside the house to give it a more of a modern look, especially as 99/100 of all homes are brick...
Whats the difference between rendering and bagging? Also with rendering there is acrylic and cement/concrete? Am I right? What are the advantage of either? I'm told that acrylic is less likely to crack and easier to apply. Also we'll be painting the interior again, last time it was done with rollers and it came out with like a texture almost like the orange peel you see on cars but not quiet. Doing a test patch after repairing a crack in the plaster, sanding w/ P80 then P200 and brushing on the paint has left a much much smoother finish. Would the texture be from using a roller, or did we use a **** roller; or should we really sand the old paint before applying the new coat? Using a British Paint Low Sheen Indoor Acrylic. BTW this will be the third coat by the looks of things... There was a grey, pinkish, vanilla whisk when I sanded the window sill. I assume the grey is a sealant coat? I'm trying to achieve a smooth finish, so getting rid of that texture. Many thanks, Drew Re: Render/Bagging Brick Advice + Painting 2Jun 29, 2008 1:45 am Hi Drew and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately for you it looks like I'm the only one up. This is completely not my area. I don't know how to post links but there was a thread started by Paula about painting her feature walls and they were textured so that may give you hints. I think hers had to be sanded and all sorts of stuff. As for rendering and bagging, no idea.
Hope I've been helpful! Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Render/Bagging Brick Advice + Painting 3Jun 29, 2008 9:35 am my understanding is that rendering is a smooth finish - no evidence of the brickwork underneath. Bagging however allows you to see the outline of the brickwork - but not the colour.
I personally prefer bagging as you get a lot more texture. On the acrylic - I have heard that bagging in acrylic materials results in much less cracking. Though I haven't seen acrylic render jobs. After 4 years - we're in! Re: Render/Bagging Brick Advice + Painting 4Jul 01, 2008 4:00 pm On the painting, you probably used a roller with a thick rough nap. Longer naps will usually give a more rough finish and short ones smooth.
There are a lot of different rollers and thicknesses of nap that will achieve different finishes. If you have some texture now and you want to make it perfectly smooth, you want to do a light skim coat of plaster or whatever is used here with gyprock (assuming gyprock walls of course) with a flat trowel. Then sand that smooth and use a roller with a very short nap, shorter the better. Paint should dry smooth. It'll take longer to try and sand the paint itself smooth, but you can do that too.
