you dont wanna put thin coat on block you want something like their parmurex basecoat (ocr) at 10mm then prime and texture coat with the dpr over that. make sure the basecoat dries out for week or so

good advise plasterjfe but i would advise meshing the OCR as well to ensure against cracking...

You don't need to mesh anymore than with any render........if anything the lower surface tension of a multi layer system ie base,prime and flexible top needs meshing less than the likes of monocouche and fined down s&c IMO. It's usually as part of a thin coat system hence the mesh all the time but thick coat.....it's really a customer option for ultimate peace of mind but not essential really butt
