is it lime rendering or plastering? as you need different materials if its rendering you should just purchase your material direct as its allready proportioned out just chuck in a mxer and add water... dont forget to allow 5 days minimum betweeh each coat to allow for carbonation before you put next coat on... if the temeratures are high you will have to keep the walls wet by soaking 2 - 3 times a day every day... the if its outside render you will probably havr to use mportar fleece to protect it also... anyway lets know what your doing
