I am sick and tired of rendering, have done it for 8 years and while the money in good. Last year I had about 8 weeks off due to weather. Machine is a pain to carry around ect and I want to learn to be a proper plasterer. I have done a fair bit of skimming to a reasonable standard at my home...

Essex/herts North london. Mainly mono experience

So Whos used it ? Ive sprayed it before, for dubbing out. Sprays well. Ive been asked to price up a lime job, no dpc, had sand cement but fell off after 3 years. Fassa say it can be i bared same as mono. Then floated. Would be easier than putty for sure. Any one used it or similar bagged lime ?

Hi all A mate of mine is selling his ritmo L Well used, but working perfectly. Always serviced annually. Water butt Material hoses Water pump Air lines Spray lance for mono Hes just not using it, works for a firm which uses a g4 and hasnt used it for months due to not taking on any private...

I sacked my moody, useless mong of a labourer today, caught him on his phone again and got a load of lip. I work out of essex/hertfordshire border. I have a ritmo I have lots of work. Who wants a job ? Id consider an older labourer who drives but im fed up with babysitting moody teenagers

Ok so ive been rendering 8 year nearly 9, started with mono but since have become fairly decent with thin coats, ocr and even done a few lyme jobs with good results. I keep getting skimming work offered, and im considering learning to spread internals for when the weathers s**t. Ive done a...

Fkucing weather is costing me a fortune. Has been wet for days and days. And next week is the same. Never known it so bad. Wtf

Why cant you just rendaid the ply board he said ? Whats wrong with bandstands he said ? Told him dom littlewood was hiding in a bush ready to get me if i rendered it. What would you do ?

I want to buy a generator for the ritmo L. No problems spraying from the mains, but I wont always have access to mains power. With the price of petrol, are diesel or even LPG generators worth a shot ? Will be aiming for a 9kva maybe 10kva.

First day with the ritmo l today. Sprayed perfectly and got the job done with out fault. Im up on the scaffold, labourers cleaning machine. I hear the machine make noises it shouldnt, look over and the hopper has come undone when he pumped the last of the material in to the skip. He tilted...

So I had a hand from a member called @vr12 yesterday, to do about 80m2 of fassacouche. The guy turned up late, with no fuel for the genie looking like hed just smoked a joint. I though ffs here we go. So it turns out he didnt put accelerator in the barrel, wont use it apparently. So im...

Starting a 350m2 fassa job next week. Ive got a labourer but need someone who can spray, rule ect. Anyone whos interested let me know.

Has any one used on of these ? Couldnt imagine 230v being enough for the g5s

Would a Jub primer work over a painted sand and cement render ? The existing render is nearly perfect, but the paint is flaking off as its 15 years old. Must have been done buy decent guys as it still looks reasonable despite this. If I was to mono it, id use parex parinter, would that at 6mm...

Hi all Ive a wall to level out before beading and topcoating with monocouche. Im using fassa m20 for this. Will i need to add a waterproofer or prime before rendering ?

as above.

I put 10 litres of this s**t in 15 bags of weber. Still sitting here at 2pm cant even h rule yet.

So ive been using this for the first time these last few weeks. Lovely gear to spray and rule, and a c**t to rub up. Been shown how to get the most out of it by the firm im on for. Split like f**k today, top lift only Why

I know a guy who uses this combo and says he gets up to 20 pallets from them. Any one else who does this ? Im going to try it seems pretty decent for £120

Vans f**k*d, need a job, fed up with all the expense all the time. So yeah, anyone want a renderer ?

Gents Weber silver pearl at about 10-12mm over roughly 3mm rendaid. Full mesh Hairline cracks above window edges. I used rendaid as it was lightweight blocks, should i be double meshing those stress points ?

Been searching for weeks, job centre, local colleges ect. One lad..17 years old told me he wont labour for less than 100 a day.

Its a rendaid and weber job. Would you just dub it out with rendaid ? Mesh over the whole thing ? Worried about cracks. Customer doesnt want an expansion of course.

Says it all really. Not worried so much as looks and age, but if its been looked after.

After a few months with my m200, I can't help but regret not getting a bigger machine. Don't get me wrong, the m200 is great, portable and easy to clean, but I'm being offered large site works, and it's more suited to domestics. Id be looking for a g4, k4 or m300/30 I have the m200, 1 year...

Cheshunt Herts Ideally drives Good rates of pay for someone to learn Some working away now and again but more money paid for this.

Hi guys. Bit of a pain, been spraying really wet all of a sudden. Spraying on 8 bar with 10m2 hoses. Suddenly wet gear I tightened the rotor and stator which helped it. For about a minute. Then wet. I fitted a new rotor and stator today, same problem after 5 minutes spraying. Not bridging...

Ok so after sagging it off. I've been given a couple weeks of fassacouche work. I seriously don't want to leave it on the wall overnight at this time of year. It has to be this stuff as the contractors paying. Also will it f**k my machine up? Or can I just flush it through after ? Thanks for...

So basically I'm going to kill him. Any ideas ?

I need a hand this Friday. My labourer will be on the m200 as usual gently pouring the bags in. I ruled and sprayed 55 bags yesterday . Got 80 m2 to do Friday and could use a hand spraying or ruling and scratching. Anyone ? I live near the m25 so can pick up

Hi all. Anyone with experience using the m200 for rendaid ? Which water and speed ? Can you get away with putting the mesh in before it blocks ? J

M200 Review from a three phase user. I have been using three phase machines for many years, including the G4 and K4. I've also used a putzmeister for about 6 months so was a little apprehensive about this machines output. I bought my m200 nearly new. i recieved a days training for free from...

Hi all Just bought a nearly new m200 which came with an unused acrylic setup. I don't do thin coats so won't be using it. Happy to see it go for £100 Not sure if it will fit any other mtec machines.

Hi all Getting my m200 today. I want to be self sufficient power wise and was wondering if a Honda gx270 5kva would be enough to run my 110v machine. I don't want to rely on homeowners for power as it seems unprofessional. I'd feel much happier with a dedicated power source. Any...

Hi all Hoping for some input. I've had recent success with two jobs completed and a third underway with Ryan's eze k4. Great bit of kit and a faultless service from p1ss. A few problems early on came from letting the machine any while ruling off each lift, resulting in a jammed stator. So...

Went to see these guys today to collect my eze k4 on hire. Blown away by the service and the collective knowledge shared amongst Ryan and his staff. The machine is great and I just felt right at home from the get go when I arrived. They have just won a customer for life and I'll be buying...

Hi everyone. I'm sure this has been asked before so apologies there. I'm doing a job where the builders bought k rend. I've not used it much before. The weather's turning s**t again Friday night with Saturday being 0c where I am. So same day scrape isn't going to happen Saturday but I need to...

Hi everyone After being let down by a new starter last minute. I'm in desperate need of some help. I've started on my own subbing for various firms with a few private jobs mixed in. I mainly apply monocouche render with some sand cement and skimming. I live just North of London in cheshunt. 5...

As above really folks. I'm at the point where I've got more work than I can get on by hand. Everyone knows spraying mono is better so I've got to take the plunge. Pft do a k4 with genie for 280 a week plus vat. Or I could get a used g4 for 3k plus having to buy a 3 phase. What would you...

Hi My customer has asked if I could render an external rsj. Dodgy builder left it exposed. I'm thinking cement board followed by maybe 8mm of monocouche but not too sure how to attach it. Grab adhesive ? Drill and fix ? Any advice is greatly appreciated. J
