hi there.
im a general builder, bricklayer by qualification.
im building a garden wall for a friend. its around 7m x 2m and will be build from concrete blocks laid flat..
is there any precautions i should take or anything i should do to help the rendering stage?
i have read a few thread when i searched saying that everything was great for 12 months then the render started to crack and look blown.
looking for any tip at all.
how long should i leave before rendering, what mix for rendering, admixtures, should i allow the scratch coat to fully cure etc etc.
thanks for your time
