What is the coverage like on bare blocks mate

I got 4m2 out of the first thinned coat and then 2.5m2 from the rest of the 2.5lt tin. So being generous that's 2.6m2 per litre coverage!

The manufacturer quoted approximately 8m2 per litre...

It's not fully gone off yet but it does feel good. I've got another 5lt coming to finish this pen and do the other. I expect the coverage quote is for smooth concrete whereas the blocks are much more grainy and porous than a concrete slab or render or whatever.

Let’s see the finish when you done please pal, not whole garden like just a few blocks ? got a bare block box here thinking about knocking down, or tarting up

Would you under coat the next job? Or do it same way?

Same way but I don't know shit. The stuff is too pricey to risk it not adhering well. Last thing ya want is a f***ing great sheet or rubber peeling off the wall after a few months.

Mind, that still could happen, I'm not a decorator and the brickies cleaned out my funds to be able to pay for one :laugh:
