Smothe reveals with tyrolene

[Dr.B]

I have not done a great deal of tyrolene apart from patching up and small areas
I now have a bungalow to do for a customer 120m2.
I have the backing coat all done and the customer is asking if the reveals and plinth can be smothe instead of textured like the main face of the wall.
Can I mix the tyrolene up a bit thicker and lay on and rub up with a plastic float then do the face with the gun?
I am open to suggestions here.
I also have a traditional Tyrol gun and a air hopper type, which do you tyrolene experts prefer??

 

[Nisus]

Can't you just leave the reveals in smooth render?
Or do they want them coloured?

 

[Dr.B]

That's what I suggested but they want it all the same colour.

 

[Rigsby]

Tyrolean is I think Silver sand so I would suggest a thin coat on a lightly scratched scratch coat. Should be ok.

Use a tyrolean hand held flicker machine. The air type would probably look more like roughcast.

You can get a super fine finish with the gravity hopper type Rigs. Plenty of light passes.

 

[Dr.B]

Is the hopper a lot faster or just less effort???

 

[Nisus]

That's what I suggested but they want it all the same colour.

Just trowel it on a bit thicker on the reveals then mate like you mentioned :RpS_thumbup:

Its far quicker and no coffee grinding all day long.

To maintain an air of professionalism I have referred the plastering enclycopedia, the correct term Is ​CYMA RECTA and REVERSA ​ ​​

 

[Dr.B]

Lots of farmers daughters round here boys! With one myself as it goes

 

[Olican]

Any sons for arti?

 

[Arti]

[Dr.B]

Used the hopper-gun and compressor and will always use in future!
As for the reveals I went for the knock down finish and looks good.
