"........... In the UK he uses a multi-finsh which he puts over waterproofer that has been laid on the base of sand and cement. They don't seem to sell multi-finish down here ........ " Italian plastering does seem to be a weird process to those from the UK. My plce looks as though its been 'rendered ' intenally with a cement type compound. [I quite like the 'rustic' look it gives] Can he get some 'proper pleaster' from the UK? - Does he know anyone drioving down in the near future?

use Fasso Bartoli ZL25. obviously multi finish (made by british gypsum) has errrrm.. british gypsum in it and I wouldn't suggest using it on stone walled buildings that dont have a DPC. always best to use the product available locally because it works best under the conditions in the country with the building materials and methods used here. ZL25 isn't the same as plaster from the uk. you can apply it in the same manner and get good results but normally here for a smooth finish it involves rubbing it once it's dried. hope that helps

Thanks for the responses; all sorted now tho' it did mean getting a local plasterer in to see what should be done - which was just we should've put a 150 base coat on first! As you point out, the finish has to be sanded down over here, so that is the next step once the tiling is finshed. Getting there slowly!
