    Scaffold

    What do you guys pay (or expect to pay)for a standard semi detached gable only. This year I've been using a couple of firms and there prices have been all over the place from £250 up to £500. Seems to depend on how busy they are as to what they charge,making it tough for me to quote accurately.

    Help- needing to correct poor external monocouche job

    I'd give this guy a swerve ,as others have pointed out thin coat is only going to follow the undulations on the walls and doesn't look like mono.

    The motor on the M is only 1.5 kW and the l is 2.2 I think so I don't think it would be possible .

    Ritmo L

    Helped a guy out on Friday with setting up his recently bought Ritmo L. I own a Ritmo M so set up was relatively simple and we were spraying in no time but we had problems when I put the gun down for 5 mins and then started up again, the material was fine and after 1 minute went pissy, filling a...

    K Rend help required

    That's bloody lazy,on the first picture there is loads of clearance, ithink the only way forward here is to secure the stack tight to the wall and hope it hides any nasties as it won't patch to an acceptable standard.

    Monoblanco

    All I can think is the measure increments on the tube must be different. I had to replace the flow tube last year and the new one has different measurement scale.

    Monoblanco

    It went well to be fair,I forgot to add that I changed the black spray cap over to the blue (knowing these fit tighter)and no problems with that blowing off. I think the key is spray wet and pump on speed 9 or 10 otherwise we found it would peel away and it hates block work with any moisture...

    Monoblanco

    Just a heads up really,sprayed it again yesterday with the water set at 500 on the Ritmo. It looked really pissy coming out of the pump but sprayed fine and held up on the wall ok. Certainly took the stress levels to a new dimension this gear.

    When rendering to these what's your method? ,without putting a stop bead against the frame. Some of my customers don't want this and we've been using different tapes only removing when the reveals are cut back to stop scratching the ali frames. Problem we have is removing the tape after...

    Monoblanco

    That's good,Monorex no problem ,this stuff goes okay ish at first and then sprays in one inch bands after 15 minutes and looks heavy.We leave it alone for a while then touch it with the rule and it turns back into piss just like Blanc.

    Lol,got another tomorrow, the hopper has been cleaned to with in an inch of its life and wiped over in silicone spray,mixing zone scrubbed and wallpaper paste mixed ready to prime the hose,also the gun airline filed. If this doesn't go sweet,Monoblanco and Ritmo M are best of enemies.

    Bobby,it was shite to spray,coming out inconsistently even on the wettest I'd dare risk. The product is one on its own, and is still a world away from anything else in the mineral render book.

    Thanks guys,it's completely different to Monorex and one more elevation left thank God. Weber Chalk from now on if they want a Whitish finish.

    Monoblanco

    Used this gear today and to me it's every bit as bad as Blanc du littoral. The machine bridged after 5 minutes strangely (Ritmo) and adjusted the water to get a decent consistency but the gear just wouldn't spray nice and the cap kept blowing off the gun. As with blanc,the stuff turns to piss on...
