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.

Maybe screeding should not be done for exteriors

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.


Hahahaha @mumu button... Have you gotten the right information now? I plan on using graffitex for the exterior and it doesn't require screeding but may still change my mind though..

gbadexy:
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.

Screeding putty mixed with Portland cement?

You people will just be confusing someone embarassed undecided

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.

Good Morning.
Don't be confused Ma'am


No Doubts, Black cement is best for exterior Screeding.

Factors affecting black Screeding.
Plastering : however the plastering of the building has to be good, because if the plastering is cracking it will definitely affect the black Screeding too

Poorly Mixed Screeding/workmanship : either the Screeding is not properly mixed or it's poorly done by the workman, it will fail (TopBond & Drfix etc or other suitable products: should be part of mixing ingredients) some installers don't use it & some don't use enough.

Damp rising: would occur over time.

If everything & admixtures are done properly it will reduce cracking incident.

Alternatively : @Gbadexy sells Ready made Screeding putty very good for external screeding as well.✓

The main Purpose of Screeding is to Smoothen and help cover the flaws (holes, cracks, bumps) on your wall, it also aids your painting, so as not to wear off easily and makes it elegant.
So, if your building is undergoing stress (expansion), perhaps as a result of structural defects, it would definitely cause visible cracks around the building, which can be remedied again by screeding, add fiber mesh between the joints and rescreed.

The conversation is about japa syndrome from old generations that japa in the late 80s that is thinking of returning and the new generation that’s thinking of japa. Interesting debate, everyone of them with different experiences it’s amazing. There is a lot of lessons we can learn here.
