ok proper advice
do your first pass at 5-6mm put mesh in if required around window and doors, also put some lanko latex in if your going over block work to avoid ghosting
then go over your first pass with 10-12mm making sure you go over the top of your 15mm beads... then you have to wait anything between 4-18 hours before you scratch it back to the beads

Thats called an angle plane used to get your angles square, you need a scratch float to get the texture right not a normal float

no unibond kills the suction... you need suction to help the mono set

It,s very different mate ,and if it is done wrong the material out lay alone is far more then s/c as in your case at least £700 plus beads /mesh and any base coats if needed

the post does come across a little "Im a dentist but Im doing a heart transplant next week can someone tell me how" so don't mind the funny comments on here its all banter
but seriously, get on with a gang for a few jobs and adapt your skills to suit mono work - easy
like all render yes it needs to be flat, flat as a witches ti t. dont listen to the yeah its easy just lob it on heavy and scraoe it back......when the sun hits it it usually looks a bag of shite unless its flat
always keep a wet edge or you will see edging, keep the mix consistent or you will see shading, use the I section or you will see dishing. stick to the right thickness - too thin and you could get ghosting
Good luck matey
