Where I came from in the Midlands, "everyone" used plastering sand to make a sand/cement wall render ie slightly gritty but not as gritty as sharp or washed or grit sand (so many names for the same thing!)

Here in North Wales you cant get plastering sand - only bs or sharp. Merchants all say the locals use bs and its fine.

Thoughts? Does it depend on the render thickness required? Am concerned about cracking.
