A bit has come off near  the corner of a window.

What exactly is it that I need?

I've got the Pebble bit , I need the Dash bit.

What is the application process once I've got all the stuff?

Well for starters I wouldn't listen to the advice from anyone that isn't Welsh.

There's a chap who's a bit more than a DIYer and has quite a following called Rag n Bone Brown. He's pretty handy at making a good stab at things he hasn't done before and telling you what he would do better next time.

Here's his take on Pebble dashing.

Can't believe I watched a bit of that as he hasn't read up much or watched anyone doing it, I'm no roughcaster/pebbledasher but being in the building trade , his topcoat is to weak for the UK weather, throwing stones like primary school kid and too much water splashing about before applying the top coat, use the waterproof/retarder
I'm now waiting for a pro to tell me I'm doing it wrong now
He also should have primed the blocks with unibond to stop the extreme suction
I very occasionally will do a repair for friends or family but like that naff JJ Barrie song from the '70's No Charge
