Monocouche - What Board?

[Too Late]

I had the house monocouche'd but the builder had built a small gable in stud and the plywood'ed it.

The plasterers said they could monocouche it but it would crack. They have since done the rest of the house and not been back yet to do the final gable end. The plywood is looking a bit st so before they come back and before the weather turns I wanted to board it to get it ready for them.

What board should I use? Wickes have an aqua board. Will this be OK?

Thanks

I would suggest asking the plasterers what they recommend. The guy who did my house was pretty good like that, he knew what would and wouldn't work.

Yeah good shout. I settled up since and of course, hes a bloody nightmare to get hold of at the moment...

So I still haven't got a reply from my plaster. Over a month ago he said he would let me know when he's free to come round and finish the small 2m wide gable with monocouche.

I have called and sent him text messages and don't get replies. I don't want to come across rude but its been about 8 months the monocouche was finished and 2 when all the plastering inside was completed.

8 weeks until too_late junior arrives and I would like it done by then.

Any suggestions of what else I can do?

It's peak season for outdoor stuff like rendering. I believe that after about early October it won't go off properly as the ambient temperature drops, so if it's not done by then you might be stuffed until next year.

I'd be looking elsewhere at this point.
