Looks like ile have to get onother spread thanks for the advise fellers.much appreciated.....this stuff come in tubs 25kg in white its thick rep said add a cup or two of water.whats you opinions
Check it first with a damp meter
And a moister meter see what the humidity in the house is.if its high get a dehumidifier.if the wall shows damp on the reading there your answer.
Not cheap I payed 250 for the gun about the same for the compressor.
It will work on a smaller compressor.
If you do a lot well worth the cash.will spray an orange peel texture real nice.
Use tarmac ocr as tyrolyn dogs nuts mt.
Cheers dann you've got me worried now.this is johnstons 1.5 mill
The rep says I've got plenty of time. I've not used the stuff before.is there any tips on slowing it down or splitting the erea to cover or leaving a thick bead to pick up .on .cheers mt
Hey fellers just finished renderering a house and just primed it ready for 1.5 silicon finish.
Most of the ereas are small so no bother having plenty of time floating over.
I have side wall 9mtsx7mts .do I have enough time to get it all on in one go.
Appreciate the advice
hy lads bit of advice.
got a job in the pipeline got a semi detached house block work and quins on the corners .not thermalites by the way.
he wants render sand cement lime .dilemma is the thickness will only be quarter of an inch thick total including scratch and top coat.
i will turn it it...
buy yourself a couple bags of 8mill plastic wall fixings from alliance and remedial dampproofing .drill a hole hammer it flat .the dogs bollox for fixing beads in any substrate
yes mate. one coat is usually enough its oil based .feels like plastic once dried .takes around 7 days to fully cure. good gear used it on four jobs .
not cheep though £150 notes 20 ltr
rendered over unpainted pebble dash .solid by the way.
finished with Reno tex paint. Put on through a sharp shooter gun .
reno tex paint ten times thicker than sand tex .
water resistant in ten mins.very sticky stuff .
JUST A THOUGHT ANYBODY USED THIS PRODUCT FOR A ORANGE PEEL FINISH.
ILE BE SPRAYING IT FROM A SHARPSHOOTER GUN.
SURE YOU CAN USE THESE THIN COATS FOR A ORANGE PEEL FINISH.I COULD BE WRONG THOUGHTS PLEASE LADS.
thanks for the quick replies lads .
ile be doing a traditional scratch coat over solid pebble dash .ie council dwelling.
then top coat level and float finish..ile be using lime in my mix .

ive not used anything like these product before but been in the trade 17yrs...
the perfect mix for me is 4sand 1 cement 1 lime plus water proofer,perfect. when you can run your float up and down on the render without drag that's the perfect mix.
another question mick. is the gun as good as they say. and what do you set it up for for orange peel as in the trigger pressure .have you got the sharpshooter 2.
cheers lee
hy fellas my question is .Ive just purchased a sharpshooter 2 from the states for fine texture finishes over smooth finish render , I cannot find anything about the compressor size I need to run the gun on.
