I've been using a mix somewhere between 4:1:1 and 5:1:1 soft sand:cement:lime for my pointing and block laying recently.
Is this about right for rendering? I only have a small area to do where I have removed a window, about half inch thick.
TIA. Rob

Get a couple of small bags of washed sharp sand, & use 1:1:6. Don't use soft sand.
Thanks for that.
Cna you tell me why soft is no good and I should use sharp?
Cheers Rob

It contains fines, and can shrink and crack when it goes off.
