Hi All, My Name is John, just arrived back from Spain on Thursday, and was due to start my Grandfathers wall today. He suggested that I may have got things a little wrong, and pointed me to a lot of information that he has found, and printed out for from the cloud. After a long time I got from...

COOPTAZA :- I do not know what a "KNOB" is, apart from an item used to open a door - I have NEVER stated that "An expensive one" has been done by him - THAT falls to your MODERATOR on this site see #2 he said that not me, hence the questions that followed - so before engaging your fingers, I...

Thank you for that, I made a mistake, I meant to say, "What was used before SBR was available and PVA was" - apologies for not making myself clear to you, I will now research the relative qualities of SBR and PVA and their applications. Kind Regards, boaz

Thank you for your reply, Kind Regards, boaz

Thank you for your reply, the render is 1/2 inch thick, so this will be the final finish. Whether it will be a smooth one is in the lap of the Gods, and my Grandson !!!, Kind Regards, boaz
