Mesh for brick to block join

[sammoseley]

Hi, got to s&c render a wall where wall starters have been used to tie new block work into existing brick, so there’s a vertical mortar join all the way down. Also gotta float the other side of the same wall with bonding which has the same join. Was planning on using some of that plastic/fibre mesh sheet stuff bedded into the scratch coats for both the render and bonding to stop the line cracking? Am I on the right lines, any advice muchos appreciated, never used the mesh before, seems a newish thing or I’ve never noticed it in the past.

Cheers. Not done much of this for about 15 years and back then I’d always bang some EML on before starting, the mesh looks decent tho assuming I can bed it into the scratch coat

We used to use sisal paper, then EML where you get movement it stops the plaster or render sticking to whatever might move like a steel in the wall and lets it move underneath the paper without cracking the plaster

years ago we used internal angle movement beads. similar to expansion beads only at an angle.

In the eighties we used to use back to back stop beads to create the straight crack then the painter would mastic them
