Parex by hand

[Paulriley]

Hello all. Am looking for some advice with the parex monocouche
we have just applied the top coat by hand today but we found the stuff was awful to apply and awful to rule. It slumped and tore and was generally bad.
Have used lots of k rend and had no issues.
Any thoughts or help regarding the hand application. Cheers

That's really odd because its normally the other way around...... People leave krend behind and jump to parex because of the slumping etc

I'm getting good feedback from customers about K Rend at the mo, they seem to be kicking some good stuff out, a lot of the complaints you read are people mentioning issues that occurred years ago.

EHI is hard to hand apply best to spray it mate

I wouldn't know these days only go of what people are saying. It was slump city a few years back.

If we use krend we spray egrade so monenof this issues affect us really.

Slumping and tearing on the same job tho is odd, slumping I can understand - wet mix and no suction.
Tearing usually occurs with a set that is on the turn and gone to far to edge so he has 2 problems that are opposite ends of the spectrum ?.

Is it EHI ? I don't think he has said but that would explain a bit
