Re: new build in werribee
You are welcome anytime Russell. I will say though, they are bullnose bricks they come that way. So can't take credit. But I did do the rebates cut, and taper using angleiser.
The bricks are the same as my house bricks. I didn't nearly 2 months trying to source then then found them about 7klm from my place then took another month for seller to get them from his yard he then hdd wrong bricks sent double bullnose.

Colin,
I know what you mean about doing nothing, I guess we both decided it is time to try an finish up. Nice looking rounded edges on the your decorative arch bricks. As usual, a perfectionist. Next trip to Aussie land I will have to come see in person. Was there earlier this year but in the Queensland area only.

Re: new build in werribee
oasiscdm,
I used v1, I did not know 2 versions existed.
After a Google, I see that V2 is a two part sealer ( mix A and B chemicals ). I am not a chemist, but V1and other brands have been used extensively, waterproofing shower recesses etc, ( I am an ex Plumber). This type of product was just starting to be used instead of copper or stainless shower trays over 20 years ago, when I left the industry, I don't think a two pack sealer is required.
We will need to see if they break down over time. This will also this will apply to the two pack product.
Note that if you expect some expansion to happen, it may pay to use some duct tape over the joins, so that the sealer joint is concave at the junction between base and dome. See the product details for this. I did not worry about this because I used vermicrete that has some flex, compression/expansion and should not tear the barrier.
Cheers,
Steve

This product can be used on an exterior. But to protect it you really do need to use a hard surface that's heat tolerant to a degree. I would put tiles or bricks over it.
I have attached the sequence to make my oven water resistant, including a door. I also used a bead of silicon over the junction between the render and tiles.
Cheers,
Steve.Last edited by brissie; 05-03-2014, 07:21 PM.

What brand was it, from where did you purchase.
The brand I used was "Liquid Flash" only because it was easy to get. Many other products exist. I have used other brads in the past, with good results in bathroom renovations. The paint/membrane has fibres, its thick and is flexible. When dry its ruberish and will stand some movement..
