Unless you use the powdered frostproofer like Feb Febtite or Medusa. A straightforward frostproofer with no other additives.
Thats according to Feb technical when it was Feb.

But I dont put waterproofer in the top coat. In winter I rely on suction of the substrate to take most but not all the free water out of the scratch coat.
The air entrainer in the water prooer hopefuly will cope with any surplus water. Cover the work up with debris netting doubled up to keep the air off and hopefully any heat loss will ward off a light frost.
The top coat you can use several additives such as Feb Winterbuild and others.
Making sure the scratch coat has cured though. You don’t want the top coat curing faster than the scratch.
You put waterproofer in scratch

Cold is ok. Just monitor the temperature so it is not going to freeze.
I have had a wall dashed on a Friday, unoccupied house .
it snowed heavy that night. It thawed a bit next day and the gutters fell off causing the wall to get soaked.
The water flooded the garden and the scaffold leaned over causing me to get called out Sunday morning. The wall was covered in a sheet of ice because it froze Saturday night to -5c.
That was 1991. That pebbledashing is still there today.
That had Feb wintermix in.

Febtite was a liquid waterproofer/plasticiser, are they using the name for something different now?

There was a powdered version of Febtite.

Ah never came across that. The liquid version was my 'go to' waterproofer until it vanished off the shelves down here.

sounds like who ever rendered the house has made a balls of it.. rendering with sand an cement shouldn’t be blown.. I’ve rendered in the summer for years an as long as you know what your doing your good to go. Plus all these pre bagged s**t has made it even Easier.. no pissing about with adding anything to the mix. Just don’t be silly an render on really cold/frost days.. summer.. keep a eye out for overly hot days an direct sun on the walls your doing.
