Hi guys
i've got a old stone gable end to render, all existing render as been taken and its needing three coats,
i'm using lime in the mix but not sure if i should add any waterproofer & plasticiser as well.
any help please.
THANKS
Hi Henry,
the builder is supplying the materials but i'm pretty sure he's got hydrated.
the client insists he wants all 3 coats 8.1.1 but i think i'll do first 2 coats 6.1.1.
any thoughts.
cheers
To be honest mate I would have thought you would have been better with a hydraulic lime 3.5. If your having to do what the builder says the lime should make the mix ok to spread. But he is not really lime rendering it's cement rendering because cement is hydraulic hydrated lime is not . So hence the set will be from the cement not the lime.
