i section

[User___removed]

i`ve been doing a fair bit of mono lately but can`t get it as flat as i`d like to.heard some of the mono pro`s on here talking about the i section.where`s the best place to buy 1.and how`s the best way to use it!cheers

 

[simplybesty]

encon sell them, if your near maltby go and see Les Lord, lord and downing , He sells everything you need. There about a tenner

 

[Gibbo]

sas europe in exeter sell them use when render is firm enough to scrape lay flat on wall abit like a double sided edge then just scrape it over surface make sure you got plenty gear round beads and such the better youre mono is ruled off makes it easier

 

[pftmonojetman]

There an absolute must if your doing mono if you ask me

 

[richardbrown]

must admit .... i never used to use one but do now,the benefits are huge. I am converted

 

[merlin]

looks terrible without one, specially in the winter sun

 

[spunky]

the mono on the job im on looks crap theyve nailed all the beads tight and the blockworks pissed, scrape lines everywhere, scrape lines up and down on the reveals ;D, on some reveals they look half finished ???, theyve missed about 20mm under the window cill big bumps when you look down it ............fair play they sent there lads up there for a day to cover windows etc then turned up to spray it and fcucked it right up ;D

 

[simplybesty]

spunky, that sounds like chilcott rendering to the letter. is it them

 

[plasterjfe]

hate it when people dont remove the sraight lines from reveals when scraping back

 

[richardbrown]

i never use a float to rub back reveals i use a metal set square against the frame of the window works brilliantly

 

[plasterjfe]

yeah thats good rich sometimes scrape float and then just a tidy with a 6" hand knife

 

[spunky]

havent got a clue simps i wasnt there when they did it ..........ill try and find out

 

[goody]

stop bead the window first then line up your angles to them. Use a waffle float to finish works a treat and gives a nice straight line/shadow gap for expansion or a tight bead of silicone.

so if your doing one coat 2 passes do you use the serrated edge on both coats or just the top coat cheers

 

[richardbrown]

thats 2 coats !

 

[S a plastering]

thats 2 coats !

i know it came out wrong some put a tight coat on first i think is this right then straight on with another coat

 

[S a plastering]

or is it best to put it all on in one go then rule with the serrated

 

[theblones]

its easier to lay on in two passes,
lay on one coat and trowel flat then lay a second pass, trowel it flat an use whateve straight edge to straighten it out.

thats what i mean cheers mate

 

[goody]

get into the habit of using a serrated rule on both coats but only spat the top coat to remove the lines and tidy up around beads etc.

good advice goody cheers

no probs monk have you ever used a machine for this work? Am about to post a vid from earlier today where we sprayed a gable end with sas float base coat. It should show the free-flowing nature of machine application compared to the hand applied method
