EWI-065 One Coat Dash Cover (OCDC)

Do you live in a pebbledash property? Bored of it looking tired and dated? Can’t afford to remove the pebbledash? Our One Coat Dash Cover (OCDC) is the perfect solution to cover up old pebbledash and give your property a modern look.

OCDC is a breathable, lightweight and flexible solution to covering over pebbledash. OCDC can be applied up to 25mm thick in one pass, and once dry provides a perfectly flat surface ready to render or paint. Also, this product has a high air content and excellent tensile strength, providing a stable and durable base while allowing trapped moisture within the underlying pebbledash to escape.

Preparation

The One Coat Dash Cover (OCDC) comes as a dry mix in 25kg bags. Mix with 5 litres of clean potable water using an electric paddle mix.  Then, mix the basecoat for 2-3 minutes to achieve the required consistency. OCDC is then ready for use. Note; do not remix hardened OCDC.

Application

Check the pebbledash substrate before application for stability. Any loose pebbles should be removed, and the pebbledash should be primed using EWI-310 Universal Primer.

Apply the one coat dash cover (OCDC) up to 25mm thick in one pass, and up to a maximum thickness of 50mm. The basecoat should be applied to the substrate using a plastering trowel or spray machine, and a Fibreglass Mesh should be embedded within it.

Once set, you can choose to apply either paint or render finish!
