Default Salt Retarder

Need to patch some areas of plaster, I have been advised to use a salt
retarder additive (previous plaster had become mouldy due to new double
glazing and lack of ventilation-now solved).

I have googled but the only salt retarder I can find is a salt retardent
plaster at around £30 a bag. Reading the specs this seems overkill and I
would need several bags, is there a cheaper alternative?

I was hoping to be able to just add a liquid to the render to acheive
desired result.

Any ideas?

Glenn
