Don't forget some anti sulphate on it also.

If the ingress has been dealt with then crack on, what I usually do is scratch coat it with a SBR modified render, then the next day use the renderlite/limelite to float it out, then skim.

We all have our own ways of doing things, but I do like to get the SBR coat on to act as a barrier.

Isnt that defeating the object of the limelite adapt ???

Well personally I am old school and have always seen a skin of SBR render as the best way of sealing the stone work, I see limelite/renderlite as a faster way of dubbing the wall out level ready for skim.


Maybe I am just being a little OTT but I like to do a job and never go back, most of the property I work on is stone built and we have to put on about 3 inches of render before we skim.

Working on brick houses must be a breeze lol
