    Stolen Van and Plastering tools..

    No sign of my van or tools at all. Police told me after just three days that they had stopped investigating it and consider it as 'unsolved'. I'm still in a hire van at the mo and slowly getting new (and some old) gear together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well it looks like they will pay out for the van. Tools of trade no chance. £300 limit on other personal possessions otherwise. I suppose I've been lucky... its been over 20years since the last van was stolen.

    Ritmo L or Mtec200??

    "One thing to add, which we have learnt is that certain material such as Monoblanco are more effectively sprayed on speed 3 - this is due to the composition of the material and the water setting required." .......... You're Welcome.

    Ritmo L or Mtec200??

    As for Adie, he is kind of 'happy with the machine' but feels he would be happier if it worked in top gear like he thought it would..

    Ritmo L or Mtec200??

    I don't come on the forum very often but decided this morning to browse through a few threads. I saw Ritmo L or Mtec 200? Something I feel adequately experienced to comment on. Seem to have aroused a little interest while I was at the pub. This is just my account of using the M200 machine. I...

    Ritmo L or Mtec200??

    I have been using my mates mtec m200 on a few of my domestic jobs since August spraying Parex monorex. Its a tidy looking design with a useful on board water pump, but unlike my ritmo, requires an additional external air compressor. I was interested to see if the m200 machine lived unto the...

    Why tank an outside before rendering?

    I think probably the k11 tanking slurry was not properly applied and so the damp wall has caused the render to fail. I have used this before to isolate a damp wall from the render such as garden walls or when i have been asked to render below DPC for whatever reason. Had no comebacks.

    I use my left over bags of parex to dub out the next job... Under mesh or whatever. My supplier will take back his stocked colours but anything else ordered that can't go back gets used up. Never had a problem. no colour bleed or grinning.. and no damp bags clogging up the garage.
