bloody hell what's the farm house built with, and why use sbr??? if its solid wall construction use nhl3.5 lime render
s&c will damage the building fabric over time!!..u should be using either a nhl 3.5 or non hydraulic system with added pozzolan..depending on how dense or soft the substrate is..for a soft stone or old fired brick use non hydraulic system for a more solid sub use nhl...for nhl 3.5 ur looking at around 4 days for the scratch and 4 days for the float for the initial 'set' that is...it continues carbonating for months after...
it does...lime carbonates 1 month per 1mm

1 day per mm
sorry render its a month 100%
i tried to google it, difficult to find, but here is a website that says its 3mm a month, but thats that mix... lime itself is 1mm / month

Depends how hard the stone, etc is, its not a good idea to put hard render on soft stone or brick or a substrate that needs to breath, but also consider that the softer the render is the quicker it will weather.
I'm always glad to travel if you need a spare pair of hands Bud.

if i had to wait 10 months per mm of lime render to carbonate before i put the next coat on it would take 20 months for the first 2 coats to carbonate before putting top coat on. i think you have been mistaken Spark2010 but it does take a long time to carbonate to its full strengh... just 1mm per day before re-coating should be allowed

the HyperLimeco/carbonation link is to my company Limeco. Our HyperLime hydraulic limes are high performance materials designed to compete with gypsum and cement/lime plasters, renders and mortars in economy and speed of application. They're quick setting and durable which allows multiple layers to be applied quickly. Our materials carbonate at 3-5mm per month in use. NHLs typically carbonate at 2-3mm per month.
In a three layer plaster directly onto brick/stone, we recommend that this is done as quicky as possiblewith our materials. The scratch coat can be applied over the dubbing out as soon as the surface of the dubbing out appears dry and the mortar has "gone off" (typicaly 1-2 days). The skim can be applied to the scratch in the same time. HyperLime products are used at between 1:2.5 and 1:3, varying the aggregate for the plaster layer.

Welcome to the forum, try an introduction in the newbie section and then maybe start a new thread in the render section , it will be nice to get some new input in this area of the trade
