Hi Mate,

Standard procedure (dependent on spec of manufacturer) Apply Base-coat onto EPS, rule with 12mm Notched Trowel (this will give you a 6mm base-coat) lay mesh on-top and the flatten the base coat. You can put a second coat over the top, Always ensure the Mesh is kept in the outer 3rd of the Base-coat

Any probs mate, please give me a call and I can talk it through with you

Thanks Ryan .
I think i have a v-large 12mm notched Trowel that would suit this job perfectly ........ so what do you modified render guys use the serrated straight edge for ?

Same as the other post on the Serrated Spat mate, Serrated Edge / Serrated Spat - they are pretty much the same thing

edge is for mono

the spats and trowels for adhesive coat are depth and width measured so as to leave the correct thin coat coverage
