    Mason mistri did bajarkoot on my terrace with cement | sand | URP in the ratio 1:5: one cap.
    The process was wetting the surface, then pouring cement slurry, then applying cement sand plaster (gotai), then again cement slurry on top with steel gurmala.
    Then after the work finished, I did curing for 15 days.
    After one month the whole terrace got filled with cracks. (micro cracks spider web like).
    I wonder what went wrong and how can I correct the mistake!
    Can you please give me some advice?!
    Thanks,
