Am just following you around the threads!!!!

Put some natural yogurt in the mix and it will be black and mouldy in no time!

If at first you don't succeed try and try again

Now I can't start shouting the odds about machines coz I ain't used one!! But I know the machine that mix it need to be fed so who does that a plasterer on 30,000 a year??? am ready to be educated nicely !!!!!

Looks a good machine and a easy set up and there's nothing wrong with the Labourer knocking it up first coz that's his job. Looks like you can do a fair bit of work with it.

Thanks pal.

Sorry for the in experience but is this the best stuff to go over sound painted houses. I have been asked to do a couple of houses so should I use this. I've was told to use Jub jlm20 and mesh. Which is the one to use!

Your right bobby it has.

It's a funny old game I've rendered for years and no what am doing with it. But haven't had much experience with all the monocouch renders /PAREX/weber/krend Render is lovely when done right. Quoins keystones all look great. But you can't get render looking as flat as all of the above

I have plenty of rendering experience and you can put freeflo with hydrated lime. We always scratched with 3/1 with 36 n cement and finished with 6/1/1 The lime makes it more workable and dries nice and light. Also if it dries in a bit quick it is easier to splash and bring back . Freeflo...

Thanks pal

Look a tidy job mate I've never used a spray machine am considering getting one did it take you long to get the hang of it

Well Lads it must be worth a try. Any other good self cleaning top coats for insulation ?

Hello all Has anyone used the Jub nano self cleaning 1.5 mm? If so does it do what it says on the tin!! I've got a job to price that's surrounded by trees and the original rendered house is very green and mouldy they want it insulating.

:hueco:I've worked for myself for years and don't regret it. I've had the good bad and ugly times I've always kept 3 plasterers going and luckily there good lads who don't need baby sitting. Take the step and get a couple of good lads and you will be fine. But beware! You will not finish work...

I use a derby or featheredge .but I prefer to use bullnose skirting that's straight. It opens the render up and leaves a better key and makes it go in nicer

ThanksRigsby

Hello all I have been thinking of buying a Rafina spray pump with petrol compressor. I have never used one but saw one being used and was impressed by its performance and how many meters you can do with Just a 2+1 gang using silicone 1.5 It looked quiet easy to apply but am not a fool and like...

That's a good way to do the reveals with dashing it leaves a nice finished edge. When I was serving my time we had to knib the reveals,doors and any angles on exterior render. It does take longer than beading but leaves a nice job. But speed and time come first when on price work.

Looks a nice job did you cut the quoins yourself?

Looks a nice job. Did you cut the quoins yourself?

I use freeflo in the scratch and top coats in winter and summer. I scratch with 3+1 and finish with 6+1 + half lime In the winter I put a shovel of lime in the scratch coat it helps the top coat pull in.
