Got a big old farmhouse to do. The main dwelling is made of stone/Flint with some new build extensions being done in sand and cement..
I'm assuming the following is best for the stonework walls -
1)Scat coat 3:1 nhl mix coarse sand
2) Mesh/scratch coat to fill out 3:1 nhl plastering sand
3) ruled off topcoat rubbed up wth a float and a sponge. 3:1 plastering sand nhl
I'm assuming 3-4 days between coats and covering everything up/wetting down before coats as usual.
Does this sound about right for the substrate ? Should we use fine sand for topcoat ?
Any tips and advice would be appreciated, been a plasterer a long time now but only limited nhl experience.
