Feb in white render

[pftmonojetman]

Im on a job in the lakes at the moment wet dashing were using silver sand and white cement but the sand is horrible weve put freeflo in the butter coat but the scratch has waterproofer in so it hangs too long we tried lime in the butter but it was awful to spread so my question is if we put feb in the white butter coat will it tint it brown or not affect it at all cheers

I have used the powdered Febmix for all my internal rendering for years, but I won't use it for topcoat render outside. Every so often you'll get a little bit (or not so little) that hasn't dissolved properly and it can leave a brown splodge on the surface. Stick to liquid Feb on topcoat render IMO.

Can you put the powdered stuff in your water to stop that Andy?

I've actually found that it tends to clump more when added to a bucket of water than when just put in the open bag of cement as we do Danny.
