thanks the reason we use building paper is to stop it pushing through. the s/steel lath (red rib) was advised by expamet rather than mesh to get more render next to the timbers and of course s/steel screws for fixings. my main concern is whether two coats to be ok.thanks for your advice but two layers of lath would have been expensive
One prick coat, one scratch coat , one float coat.
It all depends how good you can get your first coat, as your float coat should ideall be of uniform thickness and not too heavy.
You can often be quicker and leave a better job with three coats onto wire than with three, but it depends how well the mesh is fixed. It is often easier to bead onto a prick coat too.
