    Weber next day .

    The new Pral MF is a slower setter apparently not tried it as if yet, Pral M is a nightmare this time of year, probably the worst one for knowing when to stick or twist.

    K REND, why does it split ?

    Did you spray it mate and did you serrate it before levelling? Not a lot of body to HPX as its mostly adhesive so it goes on thin on CP board it'll slide if applied too thick and / or you trap air which doesn't get removed. Trapping air and then slipping tends to be a problem for the sprayers...

    K rend Lw1

    2-3 experienced spreads will outrun a machine with one man and a bag boy. Loading outs a pain these days though, starting to fall apart at the seams.

    K rend Lw1

    We had a gang got splits as well, one of the other lads went over and softened the mix and showed them how to get the air out, never had one since.

    I disagree with you and you don't like it when you're used to being in an echo chamber. Its ok to have preference to material, I prefer my own stuff. Some guys like a dense meaty feel under the trowel, some like it to have no feel and full of air. That's fine. You need to get your head around...

    k rend

    Sigh, I use it a lot, customers ask for it a lot, it's probably the most asked for gear there is. I make money of it. I'm going to criticise guys who make out its crap because they can't handle it. A nicely done job in this gear looks as good as anything else out there. This is their and my...

    I'm approved in it, and Parex, Weber, Alumasc, Envirowall, Art brick, Structherm. Learn your gear, quit bitchin about nowt and give the punters what they want. If we've not used owt before I've got a test wall at the yard and we'll cover that in it but whatever a punter wants we'll give them...
