Hi, I’ve just had my new build wet dashed. On close inspection I’ve noticed lots of little hairline cracks in the dash but not through to the backing coat. Should I be concerned?
Could the wrong mix have been used??
4 chippings, 2 cement, half of lime
 
Sounds a bit too cement rich. I would have replaced one bucket of cement for a bucket of sharp sand. The lime is to make the dash sticky so the stones can get coated in mortar in the mixer.
