Is carbon base a polymer render?
I thought it was just a OCR
You'll struggle to get a decent finish with a polymer render.
It sounds like there getting confused with products

Yes I told them that I had only used polymer on EWI work or over rendered finishes.
The architects are so far behind over here they won't spec Ocr which holds us back with experiance on these products
