Alright bud,:RpS_thumbup: is it poss to line it with plasterboard, and skim it? That is an option, if not Blue grit,WBA etc, bonding and finish

Dab it and skim is an easier option

no he wants it solid so it will last as the porch get a lot of traffic bumps n knocks ect . just another question but how long do i have 2 wait b4 skimming over the bonding ?

Same day is best but next day will be sound but might pull in a bit

Blue grit, bead and bond next day, maybe skim same day depending on suction of bricks, thickness of bonding and how fast you are at floating.

If you have to skim the bonding the next day just give it a couple of coats of PVA to control the suction.:RpS_thumbup:

Don't forget to leave a bridge to stop moisture striking up.

just skim the wall if its flat. PVA 3 coat skim simple

dot and dab it
