Why not spray domestic

we have lots of plasterers that are willing to work cheap.
in europe most people go to university, do not want to work in construction, therefore a small workforce to produce their requirements. then they look for better methods to produce more at a reasonable price.
Putting skim on a wall has never been an issue because you are flattening it as your doing it so a complete waste of time unless it's render or screed. Three bags will do 30m and three bags of render will do 3m so that's why a machine is useful plus the gear sets are longer.

And it's like rocking horse s**t to find.
Mp finish takes about the same time as multi etc to finish which is why its a waste of time. Check out Knauf Multi finish on youtube thats a 7 hr set

I used a lot of mp finish years ago when we sprayed mp75, not bad gear but would just hang for ages then bang gone. Decent stuff with the right technique but as Pft Wales says same sort of time as multi on a set, for it to work as a spray plaster it should be one long set rather than trying to get 2 gauges on in a day

If you buy a machine and start doing render works your business will be internal for 4 months and then mainly outside for the other 8 rendering.
Its up to you which way you want to take your business.
For me it was outside as internals around here were being picked up by everyone and the money was slowly going down.
I enjoy plastering but the reality of it is that in 4/5 years I may not be touching internal work

Master the machine and train your lab to know it inside out.
Get yourself, the lab and your G4 up to PFT Northern for a training course. Will cost but worth the money.

I think every now and then everybody got a client where they would love to do that without covering anything up, just spray everything and then leave
Lol..if only prices were that high so u cud actually take 3 days to do 100m2..thats y I dnt think machine spray for multi will ever kick off be it domestic or site work as you can bang it on quicker than wat the machine does..

he was painting it on the 3rd day, that`s not bad really, i imagine it would be great for big areas but not with filling out the joints and things, it was almost drylined when they started, might as well just leave it like that, decorator will get over it
would be a b@llache on domestic

No masking taping up when hand applying ,dont matter any way cus machine will not beat hand applying for speed on skim
It won't curry forget it, ok you have a lab on the machine and you spraying how is that ever gonna be quicker than a lab mixing and a plasterer putting on?

what sort of sets you reckon 2 of you can do with the machine ? and if you can seriously be faster i would change staright away to machine
So your gonna do it all on your own ie set machine up, water, powde, load up then clean out and spray at the same time? Who the f**k your gonna get to flatten and trowel? Lol I would still loose you on my jack with a mega mixer, skimming is not for a machine end of, we have had that debate plenty of times on this forum. That original video was done years ago and I challenged anyone I would beat them to get that area on its to slow. Never been an issue putting on with a trowel that gets it flat and we all know multie is a two coat plaster.
Don't forget you taped and filled all the joints and beads first
