Portfolio: Example-3a - collage 13 of 24
This collage shows where I applied cement over the wooden lintels, bringing them out to the same level of the brick work so the starting point of the first scratch coat was all at the same level. A scratch coat, in this scenario, is a layer of render that is 'scratched' on completion to form a key for the next layer of render to be applied. Scratch coats are applied in 15mm layers until the required depth is achieved.
