Default Cement rendering questions...

I need to render (with sand & cement) 30 square metres of exterior
blockwork.

I have done a little cement rendering in the past, but not much. Can anyone
advise the best mix of sand, cement, and possibly lime and/or plasticiser
that will give best workability?


1:1:6 (lime, cement, sand, by volume)

How much I will need, for 30 sq mtrs?


You can calculate the volume. Density is around 2.2.

Many thanks,
