Tell us what you did Mick,,, did you scratch the wall first, how did you mix the mortar,, by hand or in a mixer,, did you use a plasticiser,,, what mix (sand/cement) ratios did you use?????

it was the first coat and i used a 4-1-1 cement ,plastering sand -lime mix it was straight onto to a block wall which i sealed with pva. i mixed it by hand as i have not got a mixer. all i used was pva mixed in the mix many thanks
