I have some patch rendering to do and I thought it would be pretty straight forward; just get some straight sand and cement render for the scratch coat and then apply a top coat. But, this is my first time and there are a multitude of different options out there it seems!
And, I've got a few different scenarios which I feel require different considerations, so I want to try and find a single option that can cover them all if possible without the needs for buying different materials for each...
1. I have full depth patching, that goes back to brick to carry out in the kitchen (10mm+)
2. I need to patch where the old wall heater was and now has a sheet of cement board to render over (5-10mm), but there is deep gaps on the sides (see photo)
3. I need to skim some areas where removing tiles has removed mainly just the top coat, and few mm's of base coat in places.
4. Oh yes, and also filling in chasings from new cable runs (about 30mm).
I was going to keep it simple and cost effective, but then I read you need to use a different kind of render for cement board and I don't want to have to buy different materials for each task!
Can I use Dunlop 20kg Multipurpose Acrylic Render as a base for all tasks, then apply a top coat?
