Hi,
I'm looking for advice of course. Just had a house rendered over brickwork. Adhesive was applied before the render, which is sand and cement. Looked great until a stabiliser was applied which showed up loads of hairline cracks (on every wall regardless of which way facing). I need to know what is the likely cause before I decide whether to carry on with the painting or stop and address the problem. When the first coat of exterior paint is applied then the cracks disappear, but will this fail in time? Help!
