You been reading my thought with this RC, I've been watching TM as well and thinking he'll probably make a good one, shame he's based a bit to far out to give him a little coaching.

Sound like you pick the right place to go, I hope you and all have a good time, Marshy.

Yes, as we can only go on what's described nothing beats on site viewing. Pointing where you are going to render is pointless as it will be filled and the rougher the surface the better. use a waterproofer in the new render and you'll have to have that crack filled on the outside.

no I wait till the winter, I don't go anywhere I just toast myself in front of the open fire.

I scratch my head on what you was on about until I zoomed in on the pic, :oops: I'm well impressed that you kept your word RC as very few people do that nowadays, I made time to come and look for your post and I think the mods should make a sticky of it that is well worth keeping for people...

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm guilty to.

Ah, the days before addmix. :lol:

should of said the sovereign blue coloured liquid waterproofer, its a good plastersizer as well but you can over mix it so your mortar goes fluffy.

I like sovereign blue waterproofer. Remember , enjoying the smell of render is the third sign of madness......... Ah, the smell, when you couldn't get fairy and used lemon squeezy. :lol:

no cement just lime putty in all coats / mixes.

you buy the lime putty, just Google it, lots of sellers, comes in big buckets with lime water on top, keep this until the end of the bucket and pour it back on any lime left unused, when the bucket is empty use it in the mix.
