I have just removed and"blocked" up a window. I was going to render and
plaster it. Can any one suggest an alternative to sand and cement render
before skimming. Our local builders merchants only supplies sand in large
quantities.
Thanks
Neil

The sheds supply smaller bags of sand&cement premixed.

Sand and lime. All sorts of advantages over cement, though it doesn't
help your problem of finding a small quantity of sand.
Earth and lime. Use earth from a foot down. Mix 4:1 earth and lime.
It takes a while to go hard but will in time and will then last for
ever.

Browning or bonding coat available in 15Kg bags. You are talking about
on the inside right?

Thanks. Can you skim on browning or do you just leave that as finish coat?
It is inside but will be wallpapered over.
