Hi, I'm rendering a brick built fire pit in the garden as a little project.
I've put the first coat of render on, a 4/1 mix with Sika, scratched it and now need advice........
I've read everywhere keep damp and protect from heat or rain, so given the current weather I covered it loosely with a tarporline. Out of interest why is it best kept damp and allowed to dry slowly?
Should I leave it covered or exposed?
Do I need to spray it periodically?
And is 7 days then okay to put the final coat on?
Thanks,
