Plaster mesh - in which layer of mortar? Priming mortar A, roughcast mortar C, or plastering mortar C?

[RichardRR]

In which layer of render is the reinforcement mesh placed? Is it not in the first/innermost layer? I am plastering basement walls indoors and will be using base coat A, render coat C, and rendering mortar C? I am thinking that I will then plaster the reinforcement mesh in base coat A, i.e., the first/innermost layer.

Best regards,
Richard

Grounding, netting, log/smooth.

Base coat, netting, plaster/stucco.

In some "descriptions" they press the plaster net into the base coat as it dries. The net then ends up in the innermost layer.

Isn't that plastic mesh and thin plaster?
I have no idea about that.

In which layer of mortar is the render mesh placed? Surely it is in the first/innermost layer? I am plastering basement walls indoors and will use base mortar A, scratch coat mortar C, and finish mortar C? I think that then I plaster the render mesh in base mortar A, i.e., the first/innermost layer.

Actually, you don't need to use mesh in the basement unless it is over different materials. And if you use base mortar A, you don't need any mesh at all. Since the mortar is so strong, it tears the mesh in any case. Skip using base mortar A altogether, and explain a bit how you're going to mesh. One doesn't use A mortar on walls or even indoors. It's used on plinths outdoors, is concrete.
