I went to visit a job being done with Weber. 6m high 12m across. They sprayed a first pass then meshed then turned back. It was summer and 2pm. Left overnight.

Tight first pass with mesh. 4-5mm tight and flat as you can to get mesh bedded. Let it pull in but not set, don't go straight back over it give it a bit to get some body. 8mm last pass as I said get first pass flat to avoid halos.

Fix the beads with firtrees, don't stick, this gear responds to different suction quite a bit so you could end up with dry edges and soft centre if you stick beads with sucky gear. Nightmare.

Apart from that it's decent stuff to put on.
 
Oh ok thanks Jim,
Trouble is I have stuck beads with hp14 already so what can I do ?
Also you must be spraying quite wet , do you have any idea settings through Ritmo?
Thanks
 
We ran it through the G4, settings probably won't help you. Spray it on the slightly wet side, it should hang nicely if you get the mix right.

We base coated the beads on the first run and it caused us big grief. The top was hard on the edges as suction dried it out and soft in the middle where the boards had no suction. We just about got away with it. Fixing the beads worked loads better.

Got a garage to do in krend, never done it before. Was talking to the lad at suppliers and he said to put first coat on thin and give it 15 mins then 2nd coat on bit thicker and just over the beads for scratching back . Also should I just nail on beads as its onto new block work? Any this mate ?

I've done small jobs with it but noting as big as what I'm going to do. Mainly small garden wall or the odd wall, and did it with another lad. You got any tips ?
