Has anyone on here used Alumasc polymer?? got an estimate for re-roughcasting and the guy said he prefered to use this stuff as it sets like concrete, also how many coats should it have as he has only one on the estimate, is he cutting corners?? There is a gap between the windows at the top and bottom of the house where there is like tongue and groove pvc panels which i want filled in and roughcast, should these be insulated before its roughcast, or just fix wire mesh on the panels and then roughcast over them,all reply's welcome thanks

Being impatient will not get you anywhere; it was the weekend & at least 2 of the regular contributors are on holiday. Try this for a start;

I don’t do external render so can't advise; you will need one of the render guys to answer specifically but due to your impatience & attitude they may well stick 2 fingers up at you now!

Never used it myself, I would probably insulate, the spec sheet should tell you if it should be 2 coats.

Must say I have never heard of it, but I am not really clued up on all these "modern coatings".....
