Gyproc Skimcoat exterior use

I have started to plaster some of my garage using this. It says it can be used on a sand and cement scratch coat. I have a niggling in my brain that maybe it is internal use only?? anyone know.

The pink Skim? Internal only. Exterior plaster is generally just a sand and cement mix

Agreed - don't use outside it will soak water, that water will freeze in cold weather and you'll have a proper problem - I think my Grandad did something like this on an exterior garden wall and I've inherited the resulting problem!

Oh crap its only on a small bit at the bottom. Thanks to the info guys. I guess I need to get the chisel out.

If you are plasetering outside your shed, its not for that.

If its the if its the externa, wall on the INSIDE of the shed, it can be used for that.
