What is an alternative to lath?

SpiderLath (patented) is a superior fiberglass lath system for use in stucco, plaster, tile, countertops, shower surrounds, manufactured stone, and natural stone veneers, brick, concrete stairs, concrete overlays and other masonry systems! SpiderLath can be used over existing surfaces to apply masonry finishes. SpiderLath is fully encapsulated in the mortar bed creating a fiberglass reinforced scratch coat.

You will find rib lath has more strength and key than eml. Eml is a render carrier.

But as suggested above. Treat your existing surface first with a bonding agent like an sbr slurry or Rendagrip. Build out your hollows and let cure. Use mesh fibres in your mix. Them fix your wire mesh.

Personally, after going to the trouble of building out the stone as described above, I would use a modern polyester rendering mesh 8-10 mm mesh. Maybe 6mm fibreglass strands as well for good measure.

Parex TV 10 mesh is ideal for sand and cement. The usual 4mm mesh is too small for sand and cement.

Once you have got that far just render as normal.
