    Clarification re render after tanking

    Thanks for everybody's help - much appreciated. I've finished the slurry aspect (including fillet with FebTank Plug) and about to use Limelite Renovating Plaster. Reading the spec on it, it is expected to shrink a little and also to crack due to the lime content (manufacturers data). They say...

    Clarification re render after tanking

    Hi - any particular reason - easiest, waterproofness or some other reason?

    Clarification re render after tanking

    Is that based upon the cost saving - using s/c or other reason? I think the waterproofer I have in the van is the Everbuild Concentrate (that has salt inhibitor in it).

    Cement Type - Sovchem K11

    Re Seanlar….. So basically you used the fat lime to allow the wall to breath, so any damp in wall simply evaporates/breath naturally. I don;t follow the second part of your message - wrt nil 3.5?

    Tanking a 400 year old stone cottage

    Re DJM68…. In my original posting (ignore typos), what's stopping me not hacking of back to stone? The current cement render is damp, if I hack back to the original stone, it'll be damp undoubtedly.

    The rendering is to the floor. The damp readings increase as you go up the wall from the floor to a distance of approx 0.5 m The floor is dry and the wall is dry up until the floor DPM stops (approximately 2 inches), so in summary I suspect that the damp below the floor is barriered by the DPM...
