Thanks guys your opinions and advice is greatly appreciated

Im sorry mate but as much as i appreciate your advice i have been taught to always use cement with hydrated lime in exterior work and i have in the past and had no problems, i wanting to let the building breathe thus eliminating the dampness, maybe im getting it all wrong!

Aye but will the lime through the mix not help it breath?

Seriously, is there no way round this without using the above?

Same boat, had plenty on then dried up last week. Priced three biggish jobs and waiting to hear back on them, one is a goer dead cert but not sure when its a full hack off and re rough cast so hope it aint to long coming round as the weather is slowly deteriorating here

Aye get some homers under yer belt bud and keep at it build your confidence and routine up, always have a routine is my personal opinion and pay attention to detail, folk love bullshit, and always be straight with folks

Thats not the issue, what im getting at is why make things difficult for yourself when mixing by adding to much gear with a drill thats not really fit for purpose, im not saying it hasn't happened to me before, in my experience adding water to powder can produce lumps which are difficult to mix...

Na I left that bitch got me a new one Is it, is it really? Not saying it doesn't happen I was taught to try and make sure it doesn't

My bitch mixes for me:RpS_thumbup:

Any spread worth their salt would know how much water to put in to begin ande accidents like putting to much gear in shouldn't happen neither, powder to water not water to powder! Just saying!

Didint have aqny problems with the last two i have had, i just think breaking a trowel in takes forever and i hate havin lines in ma coat

Did i see him adding water to his his first mix? Well when i served my time that was a big no no
