With reference to the thread above on concrete blinding layer.
Is it possible to replace a blinding layer with an equivalent or thicker builders plastic layer?

Having a blinding layer means we have to pour it then wait and then work whereas increase concrete cover is done at the same time.
What is everyone's opinion?
RE: Blinding
Cover implies protection for reinforcement, which blinding might seem to provide, but given there'll be a cold joint between the blinding and the structural concrete waiting to allow moisture to get in I wouldn't rely on it in any way.
