    Airless sprayers for hardwall?

    Hi quinns. Idk man, a thinner mix doesn't appreciably extend setting time in my experience. It would allow wimpier machines to pick it up and would reduce the PSIs needed to push it though. I agree that the action of the piston, whether by heat or rubbing, could precipitate setting, but it...

    Airless sprayers for hardwall?

    Hi jjp. I STILL haven't had time to muck around with setting muds so can't answer the key question. When I was spraying premix mud, I was using 25-45 thousands tips but a plasterer would probably want to use an x45 orifice or more since you guys are loading heavier. You'd need a strong...

    Skywalker 1 stilts parts

    Heard pretty bad reviews of the Skywalkers and a few hair raising tales. I recently went from Duras to SurStilt S2s and dig 'em. The twin leg brackets make them solid and balanced enough you could spend all day on them.

    Airless sprayers for hardwall?

    Must be the accent. Woof. Been living in Perth, Aus since '99 tho. Spent a few years in the UK before that, mostly in the big smoke but worked as far north as Edinburgh and west to Cardiff. I found your plasterers pretty good but your tapers/jointers were hopeless, sorry to say.

    Airless sprayers for hardwall?

    Hi Goody. From what I've read, aggregated slurries tend to separate under higher pressures like you get with an airless and you get a packed line. Slurry pumping tradition seems to favour worm drives or hose pumps so I agree there's probably good reason for such pumps continuing to be used...

    Airless sprayers for hardwall?

    Thanks for the responses guys. Not promoting, just asking of anyone has used an airless. Mine is a titan 12000sv petrol. No videos, sorry. It hasn't seen much use but I've sprayed level 5 drywall on several jobs over the last year and am curious about using it for hardwall skimming. My...

    Airless sprayers for hardwall?

    Howdy. Drywall contractor here with an airless texture sprayer. Wondering why no one seems to spray their hardwall this way since it gives a far cleaner fan than the mono pump + compressor videos I've seen, would lay on a hell of a lot more volume, and doesn't need a compressor. Would the...
