Mix the R7 with HP12 and make a stipple coat and allow to dry , just enough to give you a key within your 10/12mm stop beads

If you are using K Rend the spec says you can spray both coats , I guess it depends on the amount of area you are spraying and how you manage it. You could spray the brick face coat onto the mortar coat and flatten with a speedskim rule or similar.Dont mess about with the brick face coat too...
