How did it come out dan?i have a big one coming up and want to spray the top coat but not sure on the heavier finish than by hand.the guy has said he wants a flat finish

We tried the smaller nozzle first. 8mm is it? It needed two passes really. But the finish i was impressed with. We had to move up a size though as had done side by hand and wanted the back to match. Looking at it there wasny much in it between the hand and spray. Im clearing the site weds. Ill take couple close up pics to show u.

 

[Dansouthcoast84]

Cant you spray the top coat and rub it up like in that vid of those Germans I recently posted?

I did give that a go at first but gave up as although if you stay close to areas just sprayed found myself not really needing to touch it much. More just a quick float on reveals to tidy internals up really

Why did you have to spray in 2 passes mate?

Why did you have to spray in 2 passes mate?

We gave it two just because it didnt look right looked too bare if you get me. 2nd pass isnt as full on as the 1st.

I personally think 2 passes is better I also think a smaller grain than 1.5 would look better.

Im not quite convinced on a 1mm maye on a big area. The grains gotta be so close think it would be hard to make look right on large areas

My thinking is...If the grain is smaller the flatter the finish.

 

[UKPlasteringmachines]

1mm grain is shite

 

[Wezly]

@Dansouthcoast84 it was a 6mm tip we started with, and went upto the 8mm.

 

[Wezly]

1mm grain is shite

Has he ordered that machine yet? I want that 10mm spray cap you promised me.

 

[user__removed]

1mm grain is shite

Why's it shite? Other than the basecoat has to be perfect

 

[UKPlasteringmachines]

No not yet mate he needs to get a wiggle on though cos that spraycaps starting to wear out a bit

 

[UKPlasteringmachines]

Personal opinion tbh i just dont like it

 

[Wezly]

I best start writing him a shopping list then.

 

[Plasterers1StopShop]

I prefer Mapei's 1.2mm to 1.5mm. All down to preference I suppose.

Got quite a few guys who love the look of 2mm and 2.5mm - I'm not that keen

Not really . You end up with more space between the grains

It's really hard to get it right. Twice more effort and the slightest mistake will lead to disaster. Also it covers less m2 compared to 1,5. On the other hand if you get it right is the best finish.

Agreed, the slightest mistake will show up. You need to be spot on with the base coat.

You should get more m2 out of a smaller grain size though

 

[vfr12]

You can have two different finishes by using the same size grain, but different manufacturers . I found out the "not round crystals" are giving a better finish

Write away mate. Its on your account!

@Wezly said youll give away the new gun and a lid as a freebie when i order

 

[vfr12]

Never happened and never will. It took me quite long to stop trusting the labels

 

[UKPlasteringmachines]
