No messhin about

[Devilfloat]

Just wondering is mesh needed over concrete block walls when using mono? Personally I always base coat with mesh then top, but have seen a few lads just spray one coat on or spray a slurry on 1st then inbed mesh then go straight over with another coat. I’ve done a one coat once a few years ago and ended up with the mortar lines showing through. Any info would be appreciated

Mesh needed to stress areas or where the spec says ! What thickness was your render to show lines ?

I always base mesh and 10 mm . Never had out line show through touch wood

Good chance of the blocks showing through at 10mm. If the blocks are 7n then stress patches.
