You people will just be confusing someone Firstly I read here that it isn't advisable to use white cement screeding for exteriors and one should use ash cement instead... Now someone is saying Ash cement cracks and white cement should be used instead.. Now the question is, which is the best for exterior? I don't even plan on screeding the exterior cos of the kind of paint I want to use but I'm sure someone here who intends to screed will need the best advice. |

redgem:I also have been wondering. Cos here we were told to only use POP cement for screeding the interior because it can not withstand the weather elements outside, but we are all of a sudden now told to do otherwise again. We need clarification from the gurus. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FEGEITOK: 8:25pm On Dec 30, 2022 |
Nadingo: Plaster Of Paris (POP) It can be applied on interior/ceiling surface. It can't be applied on external surface as it gets dissolved in water. (Copied) |

White portland cement is different from white gypsum cement. Gypsum cement used for pop casting/screeding doesn't dissolve in water. It hardens by soaking up water like garri would. When the water is little, the particle hardens and tightens up together to solidify, adding excess water would make the molecules take the maximum amount of water and they float in the excess water and loose their cohesive force with each other and disintegrate just like when you soak garri with excess water. They don't bunch up tightly together again but exist in suspension in the water. If you must use grey portland cement, make sure there is adequate topbond/vinko and any other P.V.A type binder so that it doesn't crack later. The cement on its own doesn't form the reaction it does with sand ( silification) with the calcium carbonate in pop emulsion paint used for screeding. It doesn't even react at all with the calcium carbonate and it's the extra binder added that is bonding them together when used to screed. You may use ready mixed screeding putty that is basically the calcium carbonate and binder or use the pop emulsion paint with portland cement and sufficient binder. 2 Likes |

redgem:My engineer said it should be a mixture of normal cement, little quantity of pop, and bond gum for exterior. But I don’t even trust him, he likes to hype everything to make it more expensive. He thinks my mumu button to impress me is to make things look or sound expensive. At the end of the day, I always get the right information and tell him exactly what and how I want it done. 1 Like |

sonnie10: I used normal cement and a lot of Top Bond. If I wasn't in a hurry I would have gotten ready made screeding putty, just use as it, no need to mix anything. When I asked around there was no pail of it in Abuja and I wasn't willing to wait |

gbadexy: Chief, is your Satin better than MP Satin? Do you know for a fact? My wife wants us to use MP here in Abuja but I was telling her I know someone on NL who produces. MP is fairly popular here in Abj so she believes it should be better. Need to give her feedback so we can decide |

sethtsadopp:Thanks for the offer sir. You won't regret getting my paint. I don't know about MP standard but my satin can pass for any big brand on application. An old client from here called me 2 weeks ago to supply paints for a flat that a tenant moved of and was telling me the paint on the building still looked very good. https://www.nairaland.com/2818326/painting-ajangbadi-block-flats That's seven years and counting when some that bought times 2 or 3 of the price are complaining of some issue or the other. I've since gained more in experience and know the best suitable materials for different painting needs. I believe you will get value for money getting my paints. 2 Likes |
