Hp12 and krend

[windy]

Hi doing 1st tiny k rend job at my own house on a dwarf wall.
I've applied sbr and plumbed up my beads. Was gonna base coat tommorow then k rend next weekend. Can I leave the hp12 coat for 1 week then sbr then k rend or should I do it all together when I have more time

No need to sbr before the topcoat. Make sure you leave enough on your beads so you don’t get a rub through.

No SBR I left a gable for 2 months came out sweet! Silicone based no wetting down required.

Ok lads scratch or base on on an meshed now thanks for the tips so far
I will top coat next weekend. Have two questions.
Beads are 15mm so would that be one thick coat or 2 coats. I've heard 2 coats wet on wet are best. If so how far do you let 1st coat coat before 2nd coating.
Also for this time of year is is best same day scratch back or leave overnight ??
TIA

Get a professional would be my advice

15mm beads on, base coat should be about 6mm thick, you can do a very tight coat of top coat then go over that once it's picked up a bit, or if you're ok with it put it on around 12mm in one coat (don't do big strokes) then scratch back to the beads

If you do it in two coats of top coat out the 1st one on very thin as if you scratch back to it it will look s**t
