I am coming to the end of a 120 house job all hand applied powerwall with no issues at all my only concern was the fact I heard webber was worse to apply without a machine 3 trowels and 1 labourer have done 4 or 5 houses a week and kept the job ticking along fine! I will look into machines though

Sounds like your lads are human machines marra

Unusual hand applied getting a look in these days.3 or mre houses dont usualy get coz of machines

 

[owls]

why is it unusual not to get a look if you hand apply? its the same rate whether you hand apply or machine apply

How long would it take to put 60 bags on a straight forward gable with one movement bead up the middle approx 60m2 with a machine including set up of machine and cleaning out ? Anyone know?

Webers about the same to hand apply as Parex IMO, only thing its a quick setter so same day scrapes for me in this weather. Answering your second question I would say set up,spray and clean out roughly 3 hours.

 

[owls]

take us a couple of hours.

 

[owls]

in this weather were getting same day with monorex

 

[Andy M]

Yep did a monorex today and was on for 10.30 and scraped back for 4pm. If were struggling we open it up with saw blades as its a bit less harsh than the I section.

Lad I was on for last week just brought a brand new mtec 300 he sprayed a gable per day with an expansion joint 80 bags in 2 hours

I was amazed how smooth it went no probs etc fair play to him

 

[spunky]

Ps the second day he had 2 bags left I bet he was shitting himself lol

if your going to hand apply dont use webberpral ask them to supply webber ttc (traditional top coat) comes in the same colours & as easy to coat as sand/cement.

Just had a look at the weber for more info on TTC as a rubbed finish but dont seem to say anything about it. Is it me or is the weber site rubbish?? really hard to find anything
