    @Nick Laslett Brilliant I've got ten bags of the aquabase 226 and the mesh and corner beads delivered so I'm gonna just go for a coat of that and see what it looks like if the colours too dark for me apparently you can paint it with silicone based paint. I'll get some before and after pics and see for the group. Cheers Maddie

    Hey @nod have you got any idea what would be best to render onto the EPS I'VE BEEN TOLD AQUABASE ewi 226 WITH A FIBERGLASS MESH or aquamat elastic with fiberglass mesh or polyester fleece? any comments on either of these? which might be best most of the area covered with it will then be underground back filled against according to the diagrams.

    Hi I wanted to put this in the rendering plastering trades section but couldn't click on that topic title for some reason. Has anyone rendered onto external polystyrene insulation? Its actually the base of my founds an EPS insulated raft. The two products i'm looking at are Aquabase EWI 226 a silicone render system with a fiberglass mesh or a cement slurry aquamat elastic with either 10cm polyestewr fleece or fiberglass mesh Anyone done this before and got any advice on either product or covered their EPS RAFT base in anything else that worked well? Cheers
