All I could find was slashing or shingling.

Thanks for help offered.

spatterdash

A rich mix of cement and sand (1 : 11/2 to 1 : 2) which is mixed very wet, with or without a bonding agent, and flicked on in small blobs by a roughcast machine. It is put on smooth surfaces with little suction, such as brickwork or dense concrete, to provide a key for the first coat of plaster or rendering ...
[Scott/Penguin Dict. of Building]

Peer comment(s):

disagree B D Finch : The mind boggles! Your reference is not a professional source and the writer uses the expression "to whip up", which is a non-technical expression that just means to make something by mixing stuff together.

dash bond coat


DASH BOND COAT

A dash bond coat, sometimes called a slush coat, is a fluid mixture of cement, fine sand and water which is dashed onto the surface of a substrate to improve the adhesion of subsequent application of cement plaster to the base. The slush coat may be dashed onto concrete, clay bricks, existing cement plaster or concrete block walls. A dash bond coat is an excellent, time-proven method of improving the adhesion of Portland cement plaster to walls and soffits of buildings, slabs, the interior of swimming pools and to block walls of dairy barns, among other applications.
