@ProDave, I am buying my WF from Ty Mawr lime, but propose to buy Baumit MC55 from my usual supplier. I have signed up for Baumit's installer training at the start of June.

Thanks Dave. I had better expand on this on your thread, I guess, but I will be using Baumit render. I have used Baumit plasters and renders very successfully in the past and like the 'feel' of them. Your experience did take me round a 'loop' (via graphite EPS) until I decided that I really did want to use WF and renders I am familiar with. I will discover whether I can hold a trowel with my fingers crossed.

Been reading the Forum for relaxation for a while but had not joined. Recently stopped hands-on Green Building but 130m2 wood-fibre EWI, new 3G windows and small timber-framed extension to do on my own house this summer. Caught out, as many have been, by long lead-times from quote to delivery, but even more so (and less expected) by long gaps between enquiries and quotes. When not doing this I do retrofit surveys and teach Eco Refurbishment.
