    k render what application?

    we ended up using 32 bags of top coat on the flank this morning, but i found at end of the day some areas had started to hairline crack, like shrinkage ones, you know what you get if you add too much lime to s/c, those sort..... also the wind didnt give me much time to go back and close it in...

    Aussie Plasterer wants advice from poms

    hmmm, over here iv done hardwall or sand cement, it will most likely crack ming over there to shrinkage.... youd have to leave it for weeks to help it not. as KK says, wet blocks in or even pva to aid with fast curinging...goes without saying.
