I need to plaster an internal wall, but will need to build it out upto 2
inches.

Should I render the wall first, to build it out or should I build it up
using bonding plaster?

'Kinell. Why?

Can't you plasterboard it?

What about using 1-coat - have you a big area to do?

Wall was an exterior wall, but now inside my conservatory...It was
rendered, before I had some french doors installed.
It seems the fitters placed the lintel proud of the wall, and as the
wall is uneven, I have to pack it out in order to cover the lintel..

I suppose plasteboard on a few battens isn't an option?

Can't you make the lintel into a feature, by rendering on that
and building it out, covering it with timber, or whatnot? What's
the lintel between your French windows and conservatory made of?

BTW, replying to posts with no context (quoted stuff) is a PITA.

Bonding quickest and easiest if not too large an area. You can 'finish'
it if you get it right, and avoid having to put on another coat.

I had the same problem when building an extension, I dabbed scraps of
plasterboard to the deep spots first to give me a roughly level background
and the dabbed over the lot - all done and taped & jointed the same day.
Ready for painting the next day.

You're being handed a golden oportunity to do something artistic and
characterful, and instead you want to do extra work to make it bland?
