Dying trade???

I use Armstad contract emulsion which used to be Glidden, Johnstones Drylining paint, and Siniat(Lafarge) drywall sealer. I normally put up to 10% water with the paint, but the drywall sealer is quite fluid anyway so I don't thin it. I always clean my machine out thoroughly after, filters, lines etc and use the pump armour.

I use Armsted contract Matt most of the time, but sounds like that hire machine was pants doing them jobs. Made a right mess as well unit looked like a humid rainforest because of the thin paint.
An electric would do me fine for the occasional big runs to spray a unit or new build out, wouldn't put plaster through it.
 
I've literally just done a job for a builder a tanking job he rang me day after Boxing Day crying that he got a plasterer who couldn't do it and could i get there ASAP worked New Year's Eve and new year day and had to wait for the doe for a few days when I basically got him out the s**t he didn't even give me a drink sent him a text saying delete my number he couldn't understand why I was pissed off,have just maybe got a good opportunity coming up but when it's finalised I shall say what it is probably get slaughtered for it but it's a good opportunity
