.... sounds like a piece of p1ss to do. Bloody plasterers making out that it's difficult, thank goodness that the internet is available.

• Once you’ve applied the final coat, use a trowel to ensure that the render is as smooth as possible. Then, use a float to smooth the render further.

See, fcuk all to it. I'm glad they pointed out you need a trowel though, using a spatula is a right ball ache.

• Second, third and even fourth layers should be no thicker than the first layer and should all be scored.

I would score all layers 1 out of ten..

I particularly like the omission of the word 'waterproof' before PVA.

I've always applied render with a scutch hammer.
Trowel eh? Wow. Whatever suits I guess...
