Did a hotel ,on sea front in Weston Super Mare about 25 yrs ago ,with Alpine Finish, dead easy to use, just a tight coat and rub a float horizontal down it

Looks a bit s**t IMO. Never really see it so people can't copy what they can't see.

Ha ha . .before all this modern mesh system came out we used to put fibre mesh in the scratch coat for s n c from what was left from screeding . never had any cracks at all

I recon I could that

 

[Rigsby]

The base coat the high build co's used was very sticky and full of fibres. Never known it fail or crack. The highbuild itself is flexible and takes some movement to crack it.

Only time I have seen failures is when they have used sand n cement all wrong and applied high build next day.
