Used...

    Hi folks, just been to have a look at a job. To render over existing dash on a poured conny house. Was gonna use a thin coat system. It's all pretty solid. Would like to fix the mesh threw the base, but nothing to fix to. Any advice would be welcome.

    K Rend Hairline cracks

    Hi mate, try using a serrated rule to get rid of the air pockets. I would also apply in two passers, I would put a coat on up to about 5 meters then second coat it. As if the first has pulled in to much when you apply second pass. When it comes to scraping you could scratch threw which will...

    Spraying hpx

    Hi mate, I spray hpx with my ritmo. I can't remember the water setting of hand. But I sprayed it at speed 9 and also with the air pipe on the gun further back than you would eg mono. This will give you a wider spray and if you move the gun a bit quicker. You Will put it on thinner. Depending on...

    Base coat thickness advice?

    Hi all, Just after a bit of advice regarding base coat on block work. Either 3.5 Newton and 7 Newton. Krend and weber both say 15 m to stop ghost/blocks grinning through, but also says in Krend book 4-6 m. Just a bit confused. Been pumping OCR @ 15m onto 7 Newton, then primer and...

    Essex plasterers

    I have a ritmo m and do loads of mono. It pumps it sound. If you are pumping k rend you will need a 230v. As I've been told a 110v does not have the power. We spray skim as well, no probs. the difference really with the big machines is more Litres per minute, a longer pipe and the hopper holds more.

    How many 2m on average should you spray in a day?

    Cheers currier, the guy who told me 200 had a m tec 300 and I'm sure I'd would be the same with a pft g4, just think there must be some men on the job to finish it and to what standard of finish. I know the bigger machines will spray a little faster than the ritmo, and I agree about the big...

    How many 2m on average should you spray in a day?

    I have a ritmo and will do between 50 and 80 2m a day of mono. I heard people say they spray 150 to 200 a day. That's fair enough to spray it, but it's all got to be finished and also what your spraying. Would be grateful for some feed back
