Rendering uneven walls

Question

I need to render a partial extension and some other repair work. The issue I have is the walls are uneven and there are slight differences in where the brickwork and blocks come out to. 

When putting the scratch coat on can it be thicker in sections to try and even it out or do I need to put a coat on, let it dry then put another scratch coat on top?

What's the best way of dealing with rendering the uneven walls?

Yes you can put the scratch coat on thicker to level it out, You wouldn’t need to put another scratch coat on after you have applied a thick coat to level it in

Jacek · Answer

It depends on how many bricks stick out. It is best to do it with a long patch several times.

You are much safer use silicone render and you can fix it as you want.

Gene · Answer

Put as many coats as it needs to bring wall out to level and then final coat over it all to finish

Nikki · Answer

It is safe to even it out with a thicker scratch that would number the ideal way to do so

I would fill out the thicker side first once dried return to it and do the whole lot if you don't you will find it will sag

Gino · Answer

Yes first or second coat will level / even out the wall and then the finish coat should look fine

Ross · Answer

It's always best to build up (dub out) uneven areas with layers of scratch coat. Ready for the top coat. Rather than I thick coat it could cause all types of problems .

dub the walls out to get the scratchcoat even then your good to go
