Wow lime rendering this time of year.... you must be MENTAL... IMO hope you cover it up really well as the frost will really screw it up for you next year

it takes 1 day per millimeter in decent weather above 10c could take up to 3-6 days per mm if 4c but if you get a frost at anytime before its fully carbonated then your in for mega problemo's
