I’m going to be rendering a large garden wall this week. The beads have already been applied but they’re 10mm beads. Can you 2 coat render with 10mm beads? I was taught it should be a lot bigger.
 
Of course you can, but as rigsby said blockwork might grin through, I had a customer fit 10mm plastic beads for s&c then changed his mind and wanted mono, told him they ideally need to be 15mm because blocks might show through, he reluctantly changed them, I finished the job and he even Saidvi think it was a wise idea to change them.

15m beads are a pathetic waste of time and materials.

I personally don't mind it, beats skimming everyday, nice to do something different once in a while.

I agree it's not nice to breath in, esp lime had a face full of that loads of time, throw a shovel in mixer and half the f**k*r comes back out in your face haha, I learnt to throw it and run behind mixer, non of the bagged stuff is good for you though, mult, dab, bonding, cement, its all poison, you can get a vacuum on the ritmo now so reduces the dust massively.

Apply a high poly base coat 4mm with mesh and then top if mono or 10mm of base and thin coat

Suppliers would sell you 50mm beads if they could get away with it. We use the smallest bead we can get away with, less work, less material.
