Got to be organised, have another spread with you if its a decent area(I take it your handballing)and a decent lab knocking up in front. Plan the area and and you will be fine.

I have 5 blue barrels that fit about 8/9 bags in load all your bags and water up. Say you have a 40 bag panel mix the lot up then both start on the top lift mix that tub up again put you first coat on then one of you drop down mix that tub up and carry on putting the first coat while the other lad stays on the top 2nd coating following you down
