Ask your QuestionI'm rendering the outside of a property with sand and cement render them tyrolean. Do i attach the drip beads, corner beads and stop beads whats the best method to attach them with? Pink grip, using some mix and dabbing them in, nails or some other adhesive?
Any advice would be appreciated.
"Secure all beads with tacks. I suggest stainless steel.
You can also bed the beads on with sand and cement, the same material you’re using to render.
Or both.
I wouldn’t suggest using any other method.
Adhesive can retain moisture, non-stainless beads and tacks can rust."
"You can use concrete nails or put them.on with your scratch coat"
