It's a hard life regardless of age - recovery just takes a little longer beyond 40!

Like most OCR's they are water sensitive, unless water setting is bang on, the product tends to clag and stick preventing adequate product delivery and ultimately back ups. I have this with both M300 and M200, I spray wetter now to avoid!

Axel 3000 should do the trick

EZE24

Parex Parmurex sprays neat and tidy - very fine coverage like 1.5mm Bucket render - sorry about the poor vid/photo quality!

Parex Maite on aquaP

Who's to know?? - M1 barely out of date - used as a dash receiver on XP system and the gear died - Weber failed to contact back once they were made aware - batch tested various pallets -same result -skipped a few pallets

Parex Maite, AVU 355 ,Mesh EHI Topcoat

Used Weber m1 a week past its use by date...needless to say it all came off!! - the gear suffered a quick death on the wall - once bitten.........!!

When you're juggling day to day stuff with a business, its easy to take you're eye off the ball - as long as crap work is picked up sooner rather than later, then it demonstrates that the main man has a bit of pride in his output - I know some firms that would still crack on and try to get away it!

Fart around with the speed output and air for best results. ...you'll know when you have hit the sweet spot !!

Parinter over paint work - subject to paint and condition!

Let me know when you have the machine Tony, wouldn't mind taking a look!!

rendagrip is more for shuttererd concrete and unstable surfaces - dont think they approve it going on paint -though may be wrong

Welcome Des - hope to catch up soon!

Trade affiliations will be the way forward - skills need to be assessed, graded and continually developed for the good of the trade

Had one on-hire for a few months, pumping site mix on new build site - simple and effective!

Holiday in Cornwall, Owls and visit us here!!

Yeah! Great buy that little EZE - still going - spraying skim now!

Yes - sticking to what I know to begin with! - and as my knowledge of the other machines out there grows - hopefully progress to servicing and training on those too! I have tabs on a few machines I know of locally - and hopefully they may soon join our hire fleet.

As an Mtec user - and speaking purely as a contractor using one - they have proved reliable -they are a work horse - both G4 and Mtec300 are decent sized units to wheel about! The only issues I have had with the Mtec has been material related from a 3rd party supplier(render rebrand) Two...

Does no one ever scabble back painted finishes these days! ...? Much prefer having some suction on to original background.

At least the beads look straight-ish!

Thanks Danny and pmplaster :bailando:

You too..good to hear you rate the NeLa for tape and joint as well!

Keep an eye on overnight Temps though!

Still going strong, mate, - body cant' keep up with daily grind now! I have taken a back seat role these days and just fancied a change in direction!

Thanks for the support, Guys!! ...appreciated. I will try to get on the forum more often!...but with the new venture, time has been a bit scarce. Anyway, any South Westerners who want to pop over, please feel free, warm welcome and coffee will be offered!! I have had plenty of trade...

Must open my eyes then!!!!!!!!!! Seriously though....thought there would be a response by now - home or abroad!

Got to say the response so far has been positively underwhelming!!!!

The shite ones you were flogging 12-14 mths ago......blue handled with flexi blades ....the ones I told you about...I could use my teeth and get a straighter cut!

I bought two of your eps cutters a while back, Ryan!!!!!!.....remember??

Full time position to join a multi skilled gang for internal/external plastering and EWI. Will consider apprenticeship if interested, St Austell based. nick 07796688713

Weber therm XP is one coat dash system based on a first pass with mesh and the second applied directly after to form a monolithic coat as per spec

The road this place is on has just about every bespoke architect designed pretentious type of property going, from Art Deco, steel and glass, mock Tudor and Georgian, amongst others, with a 5 star hotel and spar one end and a Best Western opposite! The whole area is overvalued due to postcode...

Looking for an outfit to take this one on! 25 No-fines properties in Chepstow with additional extras for enabling /reinstatements. Materials brought to site and waste collected by others I need responses as soon as possible, or I will need to let this one go! Nick 07796688713

flint or stone cover at different rates, it will also depend on how religious you are at collecting/reusing stone....on scaffolds we always hessian down, top and bottom

Not the greatest of ideas, but once had a client who requested fascia to be double capped rather than use verge/eaves trims

If that's the case, this is too thin! Total system make up to most BBA thin coat systems are 7-10mm!

Fook...a little inconsiderate of me!

Scabble the walls?

It wouldn't be my first choice!

Disagree.

1st coat 3-5mm, buttercoat 2-3mm max..depending on the system used. Your second coat is way to thick and liable to crack now at that depth...its call thin coat render for a reason...your depth on the wall should be on the 1st coat if any where, with the mesh towards the outer layer of the render

Rip the whole lot off and start again !!

Open forum.........valid/non-valid arguments, contentious statements, high/low post count etc... all are fair game....if you can't accept this basic principle of forum nature................don't comment!

Eps needs rasping...... Guaranteed mess there anyway...regardless of whether you use saw or cutter..... ryan...still waiting on news on those HKnives upgrade:RpS_angry:

I have to agree with some of the thoughts on this thread and also disagree with others. Quality will always be determined by the level of supervision afforded to a job, costs however, in the main will be determined by market forces.

Such as?? Conservation areas? Grade listed? Structural deficient properties? ...................ewi will have a solution to most buildings, just depends on the cost. In any event IWI is not cost effective for the utilities in £/CO trade-off....private installations cost will be borne by the...
