Hi,
I've got some 7N blockwork external walls I want to render in my garden and I was wondering if you could help me with a few questions?
i.) How should I fix the stop bead and bell bead to the wall. Some people use nails, some screw them in?
ii.) How thick should the bell bead be?
My plan is to make a mix of 4-1 fine sand to cement by hand, wet the wall, put a 6-10mm coat on the wall, put a key on it, wait two hours, wet it again, put a final coat of about 5mm on and then sponge it off. I wasn't going to use a plasterciser.
Thanks for any advice,
James
