Re:your previous question. Pva MUST NOT be used........ Apply stabilising solution if its previously unpainted render. You could apply a first coat in white. As for number of coats, always 2 coats, often 3

Don't advise using unibond or any PVA product a small drop into thinned emulsion does work but to much will make it to slippery to put further coats on a proper stabliser is better as its designed for weather proof finishes 2 or 3 coats of top coat on that's unthinned or neat emulsion in whatever colours required
