Done my first machine job yesterday got there set The machine up fu** that up so had to take hose off unblock clean out the hopper and just start again as well as panicking as it is now 9.anyway started the hole process again and got it right this time so started spraying at 9.30-9.45 finished at 1.30 all 70 bags on.Anyway needless to say it was a late night all scraped and finished by 8pm then just enough light to clean the site went back down this morning to Finnish any sweeping up etc and the job looks great.Only thing I noticed was we started spraying and our water was set at 210 but as we went through the day it started to get a little bit wet so we found we turned the setting down to 205 is this a normal thing to happen?small adjustments through out the day anyhow really happy with my ritmo thanks Blones .Going to try and put some hardwall through it next any advice on that or the does and donts with spraying hardwall
My first spray

Nice one mate, it can be very frustrating when things go wrong , but once you've started machine applying you never want to go back to hand applying :RpS_thumbup:

Did you by the Ritmo M or the ritmo powercoat?
If its the M you will be fine for hardwall water is alot higher then 300. If it the powercoat then as the flow rate bottle only goes to 300 you have to guess buy upping the flow past that and spraying direct without hoses in to a bucket.
Top water inlet aswell
Im sure some one will be along with the exact water setting soon.
You will love it though and think why the **** have i been knocking up and handing hardwall all this time when the ritmo has been out for 8+ years. If you can get in to mp75 you will be laughing even harder

Yeah absolutely s**t myself mate first go cos of the first **** up we done on the set up after we sorted that my lab was spoton he new what he had to do but he still got a bollocking cos I was frustrated and had to take it out on him cos he is my brother so can take a bit more than my other guy lol but did say sorry after it was all on and my ass went back to a normal size and stopped chewing the scaffold. when we were up and running my other opo couldn't keep up with the ruling at first it was only when we got to the last 10 sq meters that it all sorted it's self out lol but I was surprised at how fast it puts it on and how much area you can cover.

There's nothing better than full pelt spraying, ie gun going non stop from end to end with ruling, spatting, hollow filling all happening on auto. I sprayed a 55m parex insulation gable end yesterday with mesh and sprayed & dashed it today. No drip beads, one seamless applcation with me and a lab. Liberating. I tried your ritmo m off blones first and was so impressed I had to have a new one. Good luck. It's a very capable machine
Haha not so much in the training just the storey you were telling us after lol and yes there were quite a lot of c*unts being thrown in you weren't holding back lol
that was me pal that called you a wally. good old fashioned word for a clown.

See perfect customer Stuart lol
On our next job I'm going to order in a pallet or two of CPI in Stu so you might get a call to come out and give us a quick run through again. Nice job in leafy Epping. Oh and apparently there's a decent doughnut shop nearby.

Much appreciated mate and I just may take you up on the offer, I mean lets face it if I pay for your diesel it'll still workout cheaper than supplying Stus doughnut requirements lol
