    I take you using powdered addy, prime the walls and areas that will need building up....

    Use some rapid addy to build the holes up IMO

    Could try the wickes one coat stuff for the deep and shallow areas but make sure on the bonding it has a pva to adhere to the surface.

    Not a product I use, it should harden in 24 hours or less but leave it a week to dry out at least, what tanking are you using

    It may set in 2 hours but will need longer for it to dry out

    You will need to prime the bonding before using the bal render, the 2 materials could separate because of the powdery surface of the bonding
