Default Repairing powdery gash in external render

A small lump of render has fallen out - think it's been knocked by
something. The hole is rather flaky and very powdery, so I think if I
just repair it as it using a bit of mortar, it will simply fall out
again.
If this was an internal repair I'd be sloshing on dilute PVA first,
however that's not suitable for outside is it?

What does the panel reccomend I do?


You can get waterproof PVA. AFAIK it only becomes waterproof when mixed
with cement as a slurry, but it might do the job.
