wait till the hardwalls gone hard but not set and rub it up with a wet sponge float, or sponge it like sand and cement render with a yellow sponge. Hardwalls too sticky to rub up with a regular float.

add fabric dye to your mixes, deffo works

what lime mix do you use Olican? 6:1:1 , i'm interested in using silver sand but does it not crack like if you were to use soft sand? how thick do you lay it on?

yeah it does hold it back a bit, more u put in more it holds back, wouldn't reccomend though as it can trowel up different

yes it does

Yep, just someone takin' the piss

This is possibly is the gayest fake ass s**t i have ever come across in my life, :RpS_lol:

defenitely worth a try mate, i was even toying with the idea of putting some kind of home made attachment on my small refina drill! like a sponge or plastic circular disk, come on lets boycott refina - greedy bastards lol

they can get away with charging the earth because no one else is really selling them in the UK, so there is no competition. Surely you could buy a whole sheet of this rubber orange sponge sheeting? maybe for a fiver, anyone have any internet links?

If you're using plumb dot and screed you shouldn't have to worry too much about suction control, all houses were done with this method back in the day. Ask the guru on here his name is essexandy.

High suction control has anyone got any tips? whatever u do don't control the suction with pva, pva and lime don't mix. You need a certain amount of suction for the lime to go off, it's not setting material so if it's just sitting there with no suction it will crack or not go off at all

just seen a filzomat for 100 quid , eibenstock one is about 300 quid :confused:

is that the pad with black plastic blades on? or is it a whole plastic circular pad? figured it would be handy having this machine for trowelling up multi-finish, my elbows are getting worn out:RpS_mellow:

yes they do have a orange sponge for plaster

Does anyone know whether you can trowel up or polish multi with these machines? i know you can sponge up plaster and render with them
