Help with parmurex

[joe22rm]

Hi
I used parmurex yesterday for the first time and could do with some help....

I'm handballing with 5 mm base of parmurex with mesh embedded mixed with lankolatex then 5 mm without lankolatex.
I had trouble with spatting it just kept tearing and dragging.
I ended up waiting for it to go off then spent an age sponge floating. It's gone ok but I've got another 100 m2 to do.

I need a nice close finish to take a thin coat 1.5 mm grain.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Joe

try
Laying on a bit thicker let it pick up a bit then use a i bar and sponge float

As above but timing is paramount.

Sounds like you are taking too long and its skinning. It can be a bit like chewing gum. I prefer to spat it soon as I can.

Same as above really.
We just done 200m on a house.
We ended up priming with micro, then we put a base coat on about 10mm with full mesh as bricks weren't the best.
We scratched the whole house then started with a 5-8mmish top coat.
We topped the last bit about 10 days after the scratch with the weather we had. Some went quick some went slow.
I know it can be sprayed in one coat but have had micro cracking before and didn't want to risk it as was being painted.
Never been much a fan of OCR's to be honest but it beats traditional sand and cement.

Spat it sooner and keep your spat clean of dried on gear.
