Render
Render mix ratio for the finish coat
The render finish coat is the weakest, most workable layer — a 1 : 2 : 9 mix applied thin so it moves without cracking the wall.

Render / stucco finish coat.
Planning reference. Typical proportions and strength for general work, not a structural mix design. Load-bearing and structural work must follow your local building code and a qualified engineer's specification.
Why this mix
The weakest and most workable coat, applied thin. Being softer than the undercoat, it accommodates movement without pulling the wall apart.
Once you know the mix, the volume calculators tell you how much of it to buy — cubic yards, cubic metres and the bag count in every size.
