so what is your mix for the final coat ckj?CKJ said:Yes all the time
brickies have been doing it for donkeys years though...gilesy said:only use fairy liquid for washing dishes.....never in mortar,febmix admix only stuff to use.case studies have shown that washing up liquid reduce the strength and structure of cement causing mortars to fail and become weak
essexandy said:Used to use it all the time up until about fifteen years ago and never had any problems but we only used a tiny drop in each mix, I've seen others both brickies and spreads banging loads in which can't be good. Mind you how many people use Febmix at the correct dose? Not many I'd guess.

Worked on a job many years ago where to test if we were using fairy the site agent would come in and wipe a finger over a wall rendered the day before and then lick it to see if it tasted of fairy, anyway one day he comes and does his usual finger thing and I say "oh yeah that reminds me can we please have a sheet to put over the sand as every cat in Essex is sh iting in it" ;D , he never bothered us again 8)
