Work with someone who knows what they're doing. You'll f**k it up I've no doubt if your a skimmer.

F**k me I thought that was Spunky posting 'till I looked. :rolleyes)

Have to agree though, if you're just used to dot'n'dab and skimming it could end up looking a right mess.

Water proofer and lime? Bit counter productive ain't it? Lime opens up the render so what's the point in waterproofer?
I don't use lime on externals just waterproofer. Use lime on internals unless its a damping job then we don't.

Waterproofer in scratch coat, lime in floating coat is the norm ,I think
