is this just the lightweight i.e carlite bonding.
Yes but don't use it straight on to brick on a out side solid wall and don't stick your bead up with it or finish plaster.

Richard C, are you praying for one of the other old boy to come along or the rain to stop so you can finish cutting that hedge ?.

Never there when you need them ; funny how you can get blasted for trying to help . Think I maneuvered out OK & the rain did stop so I managed to get the hedge finished this afternoon/evening; but it’s not your common or garden ordinary hedge, this MF spans 100m & is around 8ft high such are the pleasures of a rural retreat.

Sorry if you mean me I didn't think I put my big foot in it.
Wow that's some hedge.

No, no, no not you.

Wow that's some hedge.

It's also a Hawthorne hedge & grows like hell so it has to be cut twice a year; & then there are the shrubs & trees that have to be trimmed on the other side of the garden!

I hope I didnt come across as having a pop Richard, I've been on and off this forum for a fews years and have to say your posts are some of the most informed answers I've seen and you never patronise so I'll say sorry if you took offence and if it was me.

Back to the thread!

There is a suitable plaster for conservation work called Limelite

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys. The tarmac products look worth investigating, are they readily available or special order ( can't see any stockists mentioned on the site) ( i'll have to try the helpline when i get chance)

Special order, think Jewsons can get it, they had some in stock in Vauxhall some time ago when I needed it.
