Hi everyone,
I am new here, but can anyone help me with my internal render.
I have been rendering my new block work walls with render and one of my walls that i did 2 days ago has not set.
All the others are fine and have set hard but this one, the mix 5:1 sharp sand to white cement is still soft. rub it with your finger and it is moist and crumbles away. The cement that fell and dried just crumbles like dried sand.
I did notice that this batch when i mixed it was sticky and when i applied it to the wall it kept sticking to the metal tool, and also the cement mixer walls (not usual)
I am today now going to scrap the wall off and start again but can anyone shed some light as to why this has happened please
