Got the chance of a load if parex mono, but it's out of date. Was gonna just use it for honing my spraying skills on the Ritmo.

Just wanted to ask the masses if it's worth using it if it's out of date?

Cheers

How out of date are we talking? I'd use anything from 2013+ provided it was lump free and had been stored well.
 
I used some parex that was three months o o d and it was full of lumps,they broke down when mixed but not fully so when scraped they showed up as little lighter colour patches,the customer had them left over from when I did the house and it was on a retaining wall that was being painted so wasn't a problem,would It do the ritmo any good if it had lumps in?
 
Done my house in some krend bucket coat

Ah ok cheers. Seen some lads mixing small bagged gear for ewi as well. How do you finish it? Plastic trowel?

It should be ok mate, we often do demos with materials which are out of date sent by manufacturers to us. One thing I will say is careful on the water settings as these will vary if the material is older. Don't not base your next job on that level of water etc.

You could also have an issue of quick setting in the pipes so make sure you are quick when it comes to cleaning the machine.

Obviously for practice this is fine but not for someones job (y)
 
When the customer is spending a lot of money on having there house done I would just use in date gear.peace of mind for every one
 
You guys crack me up lol the gear I used went fine and got away with it but wouldn't recommend doing it tho it was a one off. I agree with @bobby but I was stitched up on my job in question and an opportunity presented itself and I took it
