This washes the cement off the stones and the end result is
pebbledash.

Wonder if there' a third way...


Catapult


Masonry nails?

Use a dust pan and throw under arm upwards. Any patches you miss, go
over again. They will only stick to bare render.

You have to wash the fall-out before re-use and you will be too slow
for that.

Put a little waterproofer on the scratch to stop the topcoat drying
out too fast. Go like hell with the render or do small bits at a time
(not recommended.) You would be alright treating the sides and the
bottom of the windows as three seperate walls though.

Talking about mixing the render and stones:

I used some brick sand in plaster on an internal wall once and got a
very nice looking finish. I had to rub it though and the small grit in
the sand was not sharp but polished.
