Mono Mixing Time

[Arti]

Does anyone actually mix bags of pral for the 5 mins it says on the bag before spreading. we only do a handfull of mono jobs so we dont have a machine and even mixing 4-5 bags at a time doesnt take long to spread so ya hanging around waiting for the next gear to mix.................im assuming machines dont mix the gear for anywhere near that long when its constantly spraying.............:RpS_unsure:

I think when they ask you to remix it after a few minutes it's for the benefit of easy spreading. Machines get it on in one fat coat, no messing, no halo worries and i want one.

so you reckon mixing it for 5 mins is overated?. just mix it through and bang it on and Fu@k the 5 mins?

they recon its to break down the additives but cant see many doing it

Most guys do two passes. Getting 18MM on in one go can be done but it has to be stiff and that makes it harder to rule.

I use a belle mixer and a big tub and whisk. While we are using the tub full the labrador is mixing one in the mixer.

 

[rightfixsteve]

would only use a belle mixer on a smaller job, get a machine in then you're bulletproof

Whenever I have mixed it by hand I have always mixed it fo at least 5 mins, I cant see why the manufacturer would specify it , if it was not required to be honest.
I did ring up weber once and ask if I could mix with a belle mixer and I was told no, not too sure the reasoning behind it !
