Finally remembered to register on here!

Got a job coming up with badly out of shape kitchen walls that the customer requires rendered, then 2 coats of finish over the top.

Can you remind me of the ratio of the mix as I cannot remember.

Thanks

Jon Willis

apply scratch first, depending on back ground depends on ratio. Top coat, then devil float . Let it set and apply finish 3 days approximately. It will shell otherwise.
