Don't think ther sbr in scratch

Just normal building sand

Missed this post. Building sand isn't suitable for rendering. Too much shrinkage with most of it. I think we may have found the problem.

So is the red loamy? Some of our local building sand is very red and is full of loam/silt, loads of shrinkage.

The reds really coarse that’s y they mix it with gradeA, cause that’s soft/fine. I’d say our grade a is your building sand possibly

Like my old man before me I've always used pit (building) sand inside for floating, but have been fussy about which one I use. They vary a hell of a lot in our area.

To be honest I find it hard to believe that the wrong sand or the wrong ratios would cause a serious failure so quickly.
