Hi everyone ,
Just stripped some tiles off in my kitchen and most of the old render and plaster has come off leaving bare thermalite blocks. What is the best base coat to use prior to 2 coat multi finish skim. Was reading about Hardwall but everyone says its a nightmare due to high suction rates. Would 2 coats of PVA do the trick. Or am I better of just mixing sand and cement 4:1 and putting a traditional scratch coat on ?
Thanks !:RpS_thumbup:
