At risk of sounding liek a complete twazzock... Ive just bought a 1920's semi with solid wall construction and existing lime plaster internally. Some of this old plaster need replacing back to brick due to water damage etc. Ive been told that i need to do a 4 coat job with old lime plaster. I.e spatter coat, hair coat, non-haired then finish.
Does limelight work like normal gypsum based dri-wall then skim over?
Im asking as i dont wanna feck about with days of drying time for lime and keep overtrowelling if i get any cracks as it shrinks etc if i can do it faster with something like limelight.
Related to this, theres a spar-dash render on the outside, i dunno when it was put up but doubt theres any ads in it, wont that affect the breathablilty of the walls considering its a solid wall and have an effect on the overall performance of the lime if i should use it anyhow?
pls help before i give up n dot n dab the feckin lot....
Cheers
