How long should you wait before painting on the new external render? And how do you tell if its dry all the way through? Bear in mind its the cold months - Jan Thanks very much!
HD Design and Build. The render needs to be fully dry, I imagine it will be March before you can paint Gday all, I have had my front brick retaining wall cement rendered about 6 or so weeks ago and the renderer told me to leave it for over 4 weeks before I paint it so the render can fully cure. He told me to give it a little spry with water every now and then to help stop it drying too quickly and prevent cracks. He told me that rain would also help it. My problem is at the moment that it wont stop friggin raining so I can get a coat of paint on it, which I want to do so I can fill the garden bed behind it and put all my plants in before summer ends.
My question is how long after it rains does it take for render to dry out enough to paint. I'm assuming that the water hasnt gone too deeep into the render but what time frame should I be looking at?

You grunt in frustration and wonder how long it will take before you can paint your new render walls. Unfortunately, it takes some time before you can paint your new render walls properly. Based on the information provided by ScienceDirect , hydration is the resulting chemical reaction when cement and water are mixed. This chemical reaction is important because it causes the render mixture to appropriately bind with the mortar, making it more durable and strong. It is important to remember that the water added on the render mixture needs to fully evaporate first before you can paint over it.
Painting over wet rendered walls will either trap the water inside the mortar causing your paint to crack in time or force the water to dissipate out of the newly rendered walls causing it to produce bubbles on the surface of the walls. In reality, the formation of the concrete render takes time. This all doesnt mean lol that it will stay this way.. I would like to paint something or stencil something in the mid section of the hood to tie even more of it together..
Just rolling ideas around. I like it simple as well. Would have liked to do the vanetian plaster for sure still will talk to the builder of the island and see what he comes up with.

Is this an older house? My spidey senses are now firing on all cylinders!!!! I would say someone is blowing smoke!
If it DOES Not your fault. Do not let them off. Remove everything done to this point and start over so that the SEALANT can be added at the appropriate moment and then the planned two coats can be applied after that. Complete job. Good luck. Just have them add the light sanding and another coat, pay them, and then show them the door. How long does pint need to cure Q. Why on earth do people stll want stnky oil based paint , it has been taken off the market in Canada quite some time ago and semi gloss is always hard to get perfection.
