wet blocks

[claw75]

evening all.. does anyone have any worries about external rendering on blocks (agglites) that have been soaked with rain where there's no downpipe been put up. or should you let them dry out fully before scratching. if you do scratch do you run the risk of sealing the damp in blocks.... thanks in advance for any replies....

shoudnt render on soaked blocks m8 not only do you get uneven suction , you dont get any suction where theyre soaked and this can lead to render not keying properly, if you do render you wouldnt seal in damp as this would be drawn out through cavity.
