sprinkle DO NOT SOAK

if you soak it,it will take a year to rub up.

never ever use pva externally. thats my advice

I always prefer to leave the scratch coat a few days so it cures properley as it can cause all sorts of problems if you top next day, and depending on the area i would check the scratch by flicking a little bit of water on, if it soaks it up give it a good soaking, but if it seems to run off then your waterproofer is doing its job and i would give it a light flick over just to dampen slightly.

never use pva outside, i remember doing my aprentership and the builder i done it with at the time pvad a big 5 bed house full of engineering bricks we where rendering...Lol....When we went back to do it again i pulled the lot off in about 5 mins...

I had a builder try telling me you should always pva your scratch coat to....

Spit on it ! If it sucks in too quick, a lite spray of water , don't drench it because that little bit of suction is what you need to enable you to rub up without waiting too long. Eva is a no no!
