More Pise

After we opened up the damaged area, we applied a waterproof cement coat to Pise. This helps hold the Pise together and also helps to slow down the drying of our renders as the dry earth walls sucks the moisture out of our renders too quickly which can lead to cracking. It also gives us some more time to work.



After the cement waterproof coat, we applied a cement splash/dash coat. It is thrown onto the wall which gives something for our render to stick to. It allows the wall to be uniform enough for us to work on. Instead of having sections of wall all different kind of surfaces, it makes the wall one kind of surface. The mixture for the material is made strong which helps make it stick. You can see how it is splattered onto the wall.
