I have a full room height vertical crack in a conc. block inner leaf that I may stitch with helical rods, it has a sand/cement render & skim.

What width mesh (expamet) would I put over the crack before new render (and skim)?

Presumably this wouldn't need to be stainless mesh as it's not external?

Would I use a scratch coat then another render coat and skim?

What mix render?

Neat or dilute pva? Before each layer? Wait until tacky, then apply?
