How do you prep the old walls? Same as skim?

Spray directly on existing no need for pva or grit

Looks good @Djr. Is there a lot of masking up to do then with all them mouldings, stairs etc?

Not we don't mask anything up pal .the spray machine is very accurate . if any goes slightly on the mouldings we just wipe it off with a sponge and clean water

Gotta say I do like the look of airless , it's just the sanding I can't get head round , probably best see it to believe it , @skim_I can you get a finish so don't have to sand ?
Thanks

You don't have to sand it if you do it right pal

 

[jamesthefirst]

Don't worry, just look up painters and decorators show Coventry, when it's on that's when they will have a demo

Does that mean that you trowel same as gypsum??
If so, do you think this machine would suit a one man band? I have a large boarded job to get on with.

Thanks @Djr & @skim_I ..... I feel more research coming on.

So theres a backing coat to even it out then a top coat day after? The backing coat can dub out hollows? Back to brick areas?
Cheers

 

[skim_I]

If it's back to brick I use thistle hardwall as you can see to the right of the picture. If any thing is to deep use a setting product. Link Removed

Good Luck

Evening guys

Last night I popped round my local BP garage in my Knauf branded jacket. 2 lubricated guys came in with their girlfriend driving, one spotted the Knauf logo and came over and stated that he loved Knauf. When I asked what he did, he said he was a spray plasterer and loved it! VERY LOUDLY in his drunk voice lol

If it was you..... top guy

While it may not suit all locations and all spreads, it is a growing solution!

 

[skim_I]

It wasn't me I promise

Only done one job with it so far, and used the wrong product, so had a bit of a nightmare. I still fail to see how it is quicker than skimming, because of the number of times you visit the same wall / ceiling. Two coats the same day is the best way, or the second coat dries too quickly into the first coat that is dry. The finish is very good and it touches up easily. I need more practise when I'm not up against time though. Had to basically learn on the job, as was too busy to go and see the process beforehand.

It's some machine though.

I've prefer the mp75.
Used it a few years ago on a prison hospital build back when I was on site.
Some lads on here hate it but I love it.
It's easy to do and you can't get loads done in a day.

Best part about it is if you miss a bit due to poor light etc.
The next day you can bring it back with a bit of water and use the fat to finish it no problem.

Can't use that on board though Mr Reeves

No

That's true it's a full 1 coat plaster.
Although it was used over boards on reveals etc.
But ceilings and the like we're skimmed.

Great product for block shells though.
The technique for it is more like rendering
