Whats that used for mate

 

[BigK]

Where did you get that Bobby? Be bloody handy for lime mortar

 

[Rigsby]

It is like the currently on ebay but they want twice that price.

What material are you going to put through it?

 

[Rigsby]

I am thinking more like micro or rend-aid.

 

[BigK]

Don't use them Rigsby, but I'm sure your right!

Tyrolean,rend-aid,micro and other materials.can spray bucket coats as it has 3 different size nozzles!!

 

[User___removed]

I've got a job tomorrow over cob so gonna tyro over with this

 

[BigK]

Would it spray mortar Bobby?

 

[User___removed]

Not really.

 

[Rossi46]

Perfect for micro or primer!

 

[Rigsby]

Check what compressor is suitable. Mac-Plas has had problems lately but he has got a thread on here about it.

 

[Jrend]

Looks nice mate,i got the cheaper version but still going strong.Its perfect for primers.

What do you do pour in top and hook up a compressor?

 

[user_removed]

I got one off eBay for £15 + vat, same gun but different hopper.

We use it for applying, as rigs said, micro, R10/R7 and hope that thinly mixed rend-aid will go through, you need a good compressor though, I just bought the LK402 which I hook the 15m ritmo air line into and spray constantly, no stopping to allow cylinders to fill up, probably do 2/3m a minute very accurately.

If you test a top coat through it, please let us know how you get on Bobby, me and rigsby are going to test it when we both have a few hours spare, hoping it will save on buying the more expensive option.

I have the lk402 also.stu from UK plastering has sprayed bucket coat with it with the smaller nozzle I think.
Just look at it as a cheaper version of the eze machine!!!

You are a comedian at heart! ;-)

Suppose it's cheaper than the £1400 EWI setup for your Ritmo though ;-)

 

[vfr12]

No matter how hard you will try, won't be the same as machine applied . I had pictures to compare , somewhere here, and is more tyrolean than flat finish. Saying that, still will do the job, but not as the machine will.

I have both.
For 55 notes it's a good option for small works

The little hopper guns are useful for small areas, agree with you there mate

 

[user_removed]

I'll be looking into it over the winter, I don't like the idea of masking the hopper on the ritmo or running acrylic through the r&s.

 

[clivo]

I've got one , use it for small thin coat jobs , hooked up to a cheap 2.5 hp compressor it works fine [emoji106]

Do you still have to float up after?

 

[MikeAtthis]

i've spray weber thin coat through my ritmo just spray the hopper with silicone spray the day before to let it dry when you've finished fill the hopper with water go have a coffee come back clean it all come off no problem

When you say thin coat do you mean Weber Lac or TF150 and the like?

 

[MikeAtthis]

Yeah the tf stuff 1.5 sticky s**t lol

 

[MikeAtthis]

and with the speed on 0 it will spray a bucket in about 10 minutes

 

[kgreigh]

Is it the skim set up for the ritmo that sprays bucket coats or is it a whole different set up?

 

[MikeAtthis]

No it's the mono set up you need a texture gun and bigger compressor

 

[lucius]

Ive got one that sprays render, never used it as it needs a massive compressor.

 

[Rigsby]

No it's the mono set up you need a texture gun and bigger compressor

Like a Jetset pro and LK402

 

[MikeAtthis]

that's the two you need not cheap but the mutts nuts

 

[FreeD]

I've used a hopper and compressor to apply Rendaid and Tyrolean, worked ok but I found it difficult to get a consistent finish, constantly adjusting the air, slow as well.
