Just wondering if anyone has any tips for getting a smoother finish on render?. I'm getting a rough finish - i.e. bits of loose sand on the surface - maybe its just that the sand is too coarse? I'm using plastering sand from a builder's providers. Its very sharp, in fact you'd slit your hand open if you ran your hand over the finished surface.
I've done a bit with 4:1 scratch, then 6:1:1 topcoat, floated with plastic float, then sponged over with a yellow sponge. Not sure what else I can do?
