Views on mixing OCR and RendAid to dub out?

[Bojjit n scarper]

Hi Everyone, I was just wanting to get some experienced views on this.
After knocking pebble dashing off old blockwork we were left with craters everywhere and I hadn't ordered enough rendaid for this outcome. We had some OCR at the unit and decided to mix it 1:1 with the rendaid, and the outcome was a perfect mix for filling deeper holes, levelling off and meshing.
It was on my mind a bit until we returned after the weekend when we found that it had set like iron and we all agreed that it seemed to be as good as any meshcoat we'd seen.
The question is; Is there a reason this should never be done or is it acceptable in certain situations like this?
I understand that we were weakening the concentration of Polymer in the meshcoat by diluting the rendaid but unless there is a reason unbeknown to me I would use it again as the results were good.
Any views welcome

I have use rend aid then OCR to build out before mono topcoat , but never mixed the two

Same here never mixed the 2 sounds like bad practice, we use Rend Aid, then dub out with OCR before mono.

If you use Parex you can dub out with the mono, just add SBR. You could do a scratch coat with no need for pre rend.

I'll ring Weber tomorrow but I'm offering no prizes for guessing what they're answer will be! I'll leave it as a one off then but it's a shame as it was lovely to use, more like the K Rend HP12 . Cheers for the help
