I recently rendered my two chimney breasts which were solid brick with sand/cement/lime mix (5:1:1). The plasterer also used fairy liquid to help make it easier to work with.
The wall was pva'd and then the cement render put on. The plan is then to use a multi finish skim over the render. However the next day after the render the below cracks have started to appear. I know it's yet to be skimmed but will the cracks come through the skim finish too in time and are the cracks in the render normal after such a job?
Below you can see the key created but also within the key you should be able yo see the cracks I'm referring too As well
