1. Preparing the surface for external rendering is mandatory. The applicator must ensure that the brickwork is free from all powdery residue and contaminants like dirt, dust, grease, mould, oil, efflorescence, and scaling laitance. Existing render should be scraped away to reveal a fresh, workable substrate.

2. Each 15kg bag of Ezi-Build should be mixed with 4 litres of water in a clean and dry bucket. It should be thoroughly stirred with a power stirrer or the like. Depending on the ambient temperature, the amount of water may be adjusted to achieve the desired consistency. Avoid adding excessive amounts of water as this may lead to surface crazing, cracking, and delaminating of the finished render.

3. When the mix is ready, a hawk and trowel can be used to apply a single layer of Ezi-Build to the brick surface in an upward motion. The product can be built up to 20mm in a single coating without soft corners, and shrinkage cracks unlike using traditional sand and cement render.

4. Ezi-Build external render cures in about 2-4 hours at 25°C and 50% relative humidity. When temperatures are lower or relative humidity is higher, the drying time will be longer. JPS Coatings' Fastwall can be overcoated after seven days to achieve the highest-quality finish.
