Bagging render coats
Bagging is a traditional Australian surface finish technique where a wet cementitious mix is applied over masonry, brick, or concrete block surfaces with a hessian applicator to fill joints and produce a semi-rough or slurry-fill texture. Bagging is used in remedial works to resurface deteriorated masonry facades before repainting. Westox Plastalite Bagging Mix is a pre-bagged product for this application. Confirm current specifications with Westox technical before specifying.

System Description
Westox Plastalite Bagging Mix is a pre-bagged bagging mix for masonry, brick, and concrete block facade surfaces. Bagging is a traditional Australian render technique where a wet cementitious slurry is applied over brick or masonry with a hessian sack or similar applicator to fill joints and create a semi-rough or slurry-fill surface texture, which is then overcoated with a paint or texture coating. Bagging is commonly used in remedial facade works to resurface deteriorated masonry or brickwork facades before repainting, providing a consistent substrate for the new coating system. Confirm current product technical data sheet, water ratio, coverage, application method, curing requirements, and compatible topcoat system with Westox technical before specifying.
