Still panicing mate ? Never really heard of it my self , it should be waterproof with the addatives in the s and c . Rain and frost is a problem if it can get behind the render then freezes really rather than sealing the face of the wall .....
no m8 not panicking theirs only waterproof in scratch what it is theirs so much moss here on say 2 year work espeshily if a wall is south west shan't to keep work protected we get so much rain here on the foot of snowdon thout it b a goo idea

There's a product I use on brickwork called facade cream by sovereign chemicals.
It drys back clear and you don't know it's been used, good for porous materials but not sure about moss/algae protection, that's something that comes with living in strong weathered areas and may not be something that can be fully stopped.

Lime weakens any mix, no more so with waterproofer.
Doesn't cause shrinking or cracking either.
What's the point?
To have a better more workable mix.
If anyone told me not to use a plasticiser with any s&c I'd tell them to do it themselves.
Do u use waterproof in the mix whith lime?
So u do ad waterprooer then I only put it in scratch I'm just going what the manufacture say if u do ad waterprooer whith lime how do u explain to

So your asking people for advice, which your getting it then your telling us were all wrong?! [emoji23][emoji23]
Why don't you get a Dictionary, learn how to spell and speak correctly while taking a few more lessons in plastering then come back and tell us we don't have a clue!
Why are you asking for a product that acts as a sealer and then when told which one may help you tell me what one you use???

It used to say persil on the bus but it didn't mean it was going to the launderette.
It says lots of things on manufacturers bags etc.
Experience tells you when & when not to take heed of that advice.
A few posts ago you were telling us it would 'react', 'shrink & crack', now your resorting to advice on the bag!

You haven't got a leg to stand on anyway when using sand & cement which YOU buy individually from merchants YOU then put additives with and YOU then mix it all by hand/whisk/machine etc.
If YOU can find a manufacturer that will accept liability for a sand and cement finish failing please pass ME there numbers!

Seeing as I haven't had one in over twenty years i think I'll risk it.
Using lime mortar however is another matter

Never had any problems 5/1/1 etc and some plastersiser . Shrinking is having to much water in the mix and as it drys it cracks . Obviously only the lowest gauge of addative to water that what ever product you use for the top coat . And sadly am not from spain am on me holiday am from sunny new castle ..... And live by the coast
We mite as well use a bit of fairy liquid to get the workability nice and fluffy have a nice holiday m8 bring some nice weather back whith u amen
