Hi Big T,
I've only been going alone for a short time and am way off rendering (tried it one helping a mate out and jeez, was it hard work). I'm relatively iexperienced and still have a whole load to learn.
Would the correct amount to add not be stated on whichever waterproofer you're using?
Regards
Fred

they make loads of magic potionsFill your bucket up to the 10 litre mark with water then check the ratio on the tub.
If for example it's 30:1 then a coke can is 330 ml - cut top off with your snips and fill (just under full) with waterproofer add to water and mix thoroughly.
Or you could buy a plastic measuring jug
Good luck!
PS. Whole house - price for 2 i'd say.
