    Hairline cracks in render

    I remember pulling some stones out if it around 10 - 15mm wide as it annoyed the hell out if me when floating up.

    Hairline cracks in render

    Trying to remember what the sand was like. It's the only thing I can put it down to as the other walls are fine and that was with the different sand. All done at the same time as well. I'm hoping I have some left over sand in the garage that I can you and check.

    Cheers for all the replies! There was a shovel of lime in the top coat and the wall is a South Westerly I did keep misting it through out the day and the following day! The exact same mix on the other wall is fine apart from the sand which was still plastering sand but from a different merchants.

    Wtf are they

    I have used them Once when there was some thin glass doors around. I tied abit of cord to the hook then put a screw in a board and tied ya other end to that - so if it slipped then the prop wouldn’t fall very far away from me or worse go through the thin glass. Not sure if it’s meant for that...

    Patching interior of external wall

    If no sign of damp and it's not a solid wall you could just use hardwall
