K rend on sand cement base coat

[Plasterface]

Hi does anyone know if you can use sand and cement as a base coat before applying top coat. And do you need to put waterproofer in mix . I know it won't be guaranteed . But would it work as a cheaper option . Any help appreciated.

Yes you can use sand and cement as a base coat. its up to you if use waterproofer. K-rend told us they would guarantee it half as long as they do over their base coat.............. providing its done right.(loop hole)

What did they mean by doing it right?

Correct sand, correct depth, correct amount of additives, strong mix, well keyed. If it goes wrong they will surely look for a fault in the scratch no matter how minor.
