Some druggie lads came on a site a few years back selling used tools and got the living daylights beaten out of em

Will let you know straight away if I hear anything, I'm up in the north west so will inform other spreads who don't come on here.

Sounds terrible,patching won't look great,have you paid for the work?

Micro,dub out with Mono,OCR,Parmurex etc then first pass Mono and mesh then top

Rates have always been a no,no for good reason.On here you get first time posters that only want to know prices then disappear never to be heard from again.

Lol Danny

Always better with a pump,you only need to get to one job where you can piss faster than the water supply and then your buggered for the day. Having said that,we ran off mains pressure last week thinking the customer was still on holiday ,only they were back and decided to have a shower mid...

What machine have you been using.?,with 30 metre required your looking at 3 phase or Diesel powered.

Probably right,G4 used 12.5 kva Genny.

Lol Keith,Have to agree, bit like comparing Rembrant to Rolf Harris.

Think there pretty much identical machines,used to have a G4 and could get that and Genny into a Vito van easily enough

Parex,good workability,consistent batching,30 kg bags at the same price as most 25kg competitors and a big range of products to cover all situations.

What's happened to the honda Shaun?

12 to 13 mm even

10mm will be fine ,by the time you've dabbed the bead you will be 12 to 10mm.

Take up Rigsby offer,it's one day and you will learn where you went wrong.

This reply was originally longer,but I now tell customers

Once I've described the potential pitfalls to the few clients who seemed to only know the k rend name,they were quite happy to go with other manufacturers and Colin could have the County Cream recipe mixed in Crown as it's a British standard colour,just saying.

Do you work for K rend Jim?

10 mm is no problem in one pass with the likes of Parex and Weber Jim. These products don't separate or slump on the wall at those thicknesses. It becomes more labour intensive when having to do the two pass system,I do like Krend finish,but just too many issues and the jobs hard enough without...

Got one at the moment,have to wipe his arse, can't think ahead and everything takes an age to get done.Hes only any good for filling the hopper and every instruction we give him always goes wrong somewhere. This Fecker is nearly 19 years of age and has spent two years at college,God knows what...

We gently open it with the large scratch pad and then I section away,it takes the horibble screeching out of it and makes it a bit easier

That thing will spray Weber a dream.

Tidy, similar looking to the mtec Monomix, if I remember correctly, they did the Mono mix in 240 v Ryan? What kind of output would that punch render out at?

You could use the lighter colours for backing out coats

Plenty of hot soapy water will dissolve pva.The pva thats been applied can be skimmed over

Yep thanks ,I reckon it's the water supply so will use the water pump

Noticed that too Mike, I'll try a bit more water next time and run from the water pump just to be on the safe side thanks

Makes sense Mike,I only top it up so the head of the rotor is just covered but only added a small amount of gear gradually which seems to work all other times

Set the machine up on Friday and was getting a reading of 2 bar from mains water so thought to give it a go. Usual set up,primed with water up to top of rotor and set at 350 then sprinkled Parmurex half way up the mixing shaft.Started up and dry powder came through before machine jammed. Just...

That's on nice straight areas,start between 7 to 8 finish 10 or 11. Over based at 10mm,obviously less if soil stacks and fiddly areas come into play

I can't see why not as that stuff sticks like shite aswell

All depends how long of a day you want,we spray up to about 60 metres with ours and are done spraying mid morning with scrape finish between 5 and 6 o'clock in summer.

Pink Grip should stick the bead and we've used Parex Maite over steel rightly or wrongly,but it's never failed.

Opposite for me,sold the G4 and just keep the ritmo now.Theres ups and downs for both set ups with the Ritmo being slower but the G4 being heavy and needing an ear splitting generator,unless it's diesel. Get more than enough m2 on with the Ritmo and save Gennys juice by plugging into customers...

Too flexible, better with serrated edge then spatted.

+1 for Micro

Du littoral lol

So with these reports it's as bad as blanc during littoral then?.

Welcome,not in your area unfortunately but your going about it the right way instead of going on a course.Hands on experience with a gang is the best way and there's probably some firms up your way that will snap your offer up.

Well worth a go with copings,but it happens on window sill edges also.Imo all Mono should be sealed on completion.

Don't be tempted to use anything bleach based on the algae as it can bleach out the colour

Clean with a low pressure jet wash and seal with Parex Paraguard. Also consider widening the copings if possible.

I've given Shaun first refusal Greg,but if it doesn't work out I'll be in touch matey

You can do but general advice is in the first pass of Mono.

Doesn't get used anymore as downsized and gives someone a headstart without massive outlay.The machine has more than paid for itself

Rule it straight away and you put mesh in the first pass.

It's been a great machine Keith and I've many fond memories of Les bollocking us in the early days lol

No worries Shaun
