Ive got an end terrace house and the front and gable end have been pebbledashed. I planned on using JUB EWI to do the job as thats what my local building suppliers deal with but their silicone dash receiver is a special order and they wouldnt even make any for the small area i need. Can anyone recommend an alternative? I didnt think i would of had this problem but JUB said a dash finish is going out of fashion now but i dont think ive got any other alternative as the rest of the house is pebble dash. So far ive found webertherm m1 which is around £20 a bag and says it needs to be applied to a thickness of 15mm which seems quite thick to me or is it 8mm for the first pass with mesh and 7mm for the dash coat?

I have just finished a stone dash job, I had the same problem the manufacturer would only sell me full pallets of dash receiver.
We used a scratch coat of HP12 with a full mesh with a decent scratch . Left to cure then a coat of PVA to kill suction we had a good key from the scratch. For a dash receiver we used OCR with extra feb mix to give us a buttercoat. We have done a lot of dashing so we had everything set up first.

Were both of those krend? Did you need to kill the suction as you had a large area to do ?

We use Weber OCR. I like the material plus it is always in stock at Wicks a local store. We would always kill the suction as we did not use dashing receiver.

You shouldn't ever kill the suction Malc, the patchwork effect is all the rage and would bring dashing bang up to date with the current rendering trends we're seeing on here.
 
I asked my local building supplier which one I need and they said webertherm M1 which is £25+vat a bag!!
Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between
Webertherm M1
Weberpral m
Weberend one coat dash
The last 2 are a lot cheaper and come in 25kg bags where the m1 comes in 20kg
