K Lime finishing grade 213,

Any body had any experience spraying the above material.??

Veiws or opinions most weclome.

Thanks

Mark
 
I hope so, the 413 is coarse and nasty, you will be needing a deisel machine to even concider it.

Over all, my opinion of the 213 is pretty poor too, what are you spraying it with ?
 
didn't think the 413 was pumpable ??

yes i am using 3 phase s48

any better material i should be looking at (bit hard to find a lime render bagged to spray?)
 
413 , No it is def not pumpable, and soul destroying to put on by hand.

We have been applying lime renders and plasters for some years now, both non hydraulic and hydraulic by hand..Like you say bagged lime renders seem thin on the ground.

Have you looked at any of the Limetech products.Baumit renders are sold by them and sold as machine applyable. We are looking at using this in abot a months time in East Sussex.Will see how it goes and let you know.
 
been hand applying lime render for 12 yrs ----but would like to apply by machine
what problems did you have with 213


i did contact limetech --quite a bit more expensive

let me know how it goes..
 
job i'me doing as pics in other thread (todays job)
was wanting to make good stone/brickwork /point /dub out

as its pizzed big time ,need to give it a scratch coat ,mesh,

pointless me using a coloured render for this (and more expensive) so a standard lime/sand mix bagged would be fine (no colour)

then apply a through coloured lime render
 
ian --thanks for link :RpS_thumbup::RpS_thumbup::RpS_thumbup:


duro rend looks good ,just what i need

that's not the one that you had trouble pumping ??

it is, but like i mentioned it stiffens very quick and can be brought out to massive thicknesses in a day. Sprays like pisss
 
pumped lime with jonesy before and I thought the product was quite heavy and dead compared to other renders so it needed to be pumped quite wet(too wet prob a bit) which was not the best although that was with the dft pump and its 3kw motor. They say lime renders are best pumped by diesel machines so you would think that an electric 5.5kw machine would be the minimum you'd need to turn the gear drier
 
We found the K lime 213 needed to by really wet too. We did mamage to put it through, but its a pig to use on the wall, like you say heavy and wet.We ran it through a Mtec 300, and it struggled , I think really the 10kva gen we have did not have enough grunt....on reflection this gear is best suited for a diesel.

I would be interested to see who has has put a lime based premix through the Mtec and highly rated the material used.
 
yes,no problem

will be next week before i get to try these out


got some durorend (limegreen) and some k lime to try through the machine and see which is best ??

will let you know result



have spoken to cpi about them making their bagged lime render pumpable (by hand only at the moment)
they are going to make some for me to try ----should be in the next week or 2
 
you can spray natural lime yeah? ? if these bagged versions are proving tricky to spray what will the NHL be like

Klime 213 used on this victorian renovation.

All done traditionally, not a bead in site. Mock ashlar masonary lines ....one of my lads here forming up the head stones the customer decided he wanted.

The st astiere topcoat lime can also be scratched back so its ok to mark the lines the next day using a stucco saw.
it only went on at 5mm as well.
