I haven’t done a lot of plastering so would really appreciate some advice on this if possible.
I want to render a stone fireplace that will eventually be tiled. The face of it is stone but the interior is mainly concrete block (bricks at the back), that I have chipped away to widen a little so that I can fit the wood burner in comfortably.
I’ve been advised to use a mix of 4 parts sand (sharp or builders?):1 lime:1 cement and not use any PVA on the surface prior to rendering.
Any thoughts on whether this is on the money
or any other suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks.
