Floating up sand and cement render

[Jase pank]

Evening guys. So ive done the top coat of render on the back of my garage today. 5 sand. 1 cement and 1 lime.
Its still to wet to float up and now obviously pitch black.
Will i be ok to float up 1st thing in morning?
And advise thanks

I was able to perfectly tbh. Flicked a little water on it 5 mins before hand. 1st time rendering and im more than happy with the results.

Oh that’s great , how many hours are we talking about between rendering the wall and returning the following day to float ?
if you don’t mind me asking.

Was a good 11 or 12 hours. Tried to do about 9pm by torch light wasnt happening. So had no choice to wait. Did the side wall of garage friday managed to get it all floated and sponged up that day this time. Pictures dont do it justice. Happy with the results having not rendered anything before. Ready for ne fascia.
