A Tyroleon finish is a cement based finish which is applied over rendered masonry usually
0:10
It gives a very textured finish as you can see and it gets everywhere when it's sprayed on so everything needs to be protected
0:18
We've rendered this wall, you can see that on another video patching up rendered walls
0:23
And now we're going to Tyroleon it to match the existing texture
0:28
mixture. Tirolean comes in bags of 25 kilograms. It's supplied by a gun that you can see on the left
0:34
that blue thing, and we like to put a tiny bit, about half a teacup of PVA in the water when we
0:40
mix the Tirolean. Tirolean's mixed just the same as skin plaster, so if you look at our skin
0:47
plastering video, you can see more about mixing, but the water's placed in the bucket, the Tirolean
0:52
powder is tipped in and it's mixed with a whisk on the end of an electric drill
1:00
When it's mixed, it's wet enough to either pour or scoop into your
1:06
Tyrolean gun and when we start spraying you see how the gun works It sits in the bottom of the container and you can see those little prongs They are flicked when the handle is turned and it
1:19
sprays the Tyrolean on the wall giving you a textured finish. You'll see in a bit how that
1:25
spray action can be adjusted. You move up and down the wall and keep spraying and keep an eye
1:31
on the surface, the existing surface that you're spraying up to, so that you can adjust the flicking action to get the right sized blobs of Tyrolean
1:44
The gun in the top right hand corner shows you how the prongs flick the Tyrolean iron wall
1:49
and they can be adjusted by the lever on the side so that you can get a slower action giving you bigger blobs
1:57
or a faster action giving you smaller ones. Just fill in all the spaces and when you've finished you should have blended into your existing surface and from that point on you can paint the Tyrolean to match the existing house
