I say STUFF the old ways.. In the USA there are robots building houses instead of brickies laying as we speak

I say sort the gypsum so it works for the spread

And make the machines better for me

And stick your techniques up your arse Flynnyman

Again you contribute f**k all to the thread or debate show me a robot building a house from scratch? You can't so it's bullshit? Gypsum has always worked and why should it change to suit another way that works? Machines have a place but won't make plastering different. Learn about plasters first and how the setting process happens.

knauf do its called Knauf Multi finish and is only available in germany. Do a search on youtube and you will see a 8 hr set. maybe someone who sells knauf plasters could import it for tests. If only there was a sort of 1 stop shop you could go to get products like this :estudioso:

Knauf now only actively push airless finish. Gypsum finishes are not where they see the future lies so I doubt that will ever happen
 
@Curry and @PFTwales going off the times you have sprayed multi or thistle spray in the past can you tell me roughly how long would it take to spray 10 - 20 boards with it if everything is set up ready to go?
Thanks

Hi everyone. Thanks for letting us know about this.

This is actually an error on our website which we are now updating, so sorry about that. We would not recommend spray application when using Thistle MultiFinish.

Why not I've had no problems

Can you give the reason why? We have a number of customers applying Multi Finish through a range of machines with no issues. No job failures either.

Regarding the original post.

@currier has done a fair bit of trial and error on site with spraying plaster. The material forms a skin and gradually causes blockages. This makes perfect sense as it does behave this way to your trowels. Unless BG have changed the formula then i would heed to what they state on their bags which is not suitable for spray application.

The spray suitable finishes don't do the same so there must be a difference.

My own opinion is its messy and pointless. The machine may apply a 100 m2 area in 20 minutes just as you would if 4-5 plasterers came helped you lay on. BUT... how can less people finish it ? The material is following a setting pattern and applying the plaster is only 1 process out of a minimum of 5.

BY Hand If 1 man puts 25 mts on the wall in a normal set it takes the best part of 3 hrs to finish it. If he puts 50 mts on he will be working very hard and that set will take much longer than a normal set to finish. No way can you maintain quality ,cleanliness and prepp for next set as you would in a normal set applied by hand.

People might tell you different but i speak from genuine hands on experience and nothing else.

My position is if they extend the setting times it could be useful, but the mess issue should be addressed (dust sheets wont last long dripping in wet skim everyday) 1 big spray first thing and then prepping trowelling and cleaning the rest of the day. There should be a clear advantage and labour/time as there is with using a machine to apply other products.

BG state multi finish IS suitable to spray
 
If I spray multi again it will only be with the addition of extratime it's the only way I can see it working.
I found spraying ceilings with mp finish fairly clean but you must have the speed,air and consistency bang on.
One thing about spraying ceilings is it gives me arm ache in no time.
