    Thin coats / primed or not ?

    We've got a badly done mono that we are tidying up for a customer. We've put a nice tight coat of Nivoplan all over it and will be spraying Mapei 1.5mm bucket coat over it to finish. We always prime first but I've been told it's not necessary unless it's an old, dry background. We want it to...

    Speedskim Technique?

    different strokes for different folks Cassie. I love the speedskim, can't get on with the metal spats. Some still like the traditional system. It's just what works for the individual I suppose

    Machine / Pump Training ?

    It's been getting some good reviews and the demo was comprehensive. The fellah doing the demo and the sales was sound as a pound so that's why I chose them. I think they sell the Putzmeister machines as well, the massive tow along things. What machine do you use

    Machine / Pump Training ?

    50M2 is plenty when hand applying nice and flat matey, unless you're super spread ! ! I got the machine so that I can get loads of M2's on. I can do a bang on job by hand, I've been rendering and plastering for over twenty years. It's just that thing of switching to a new system, I don't...

    Machine / Pump Training ?

    Yeah I get you. I've actually bought a machine, had a demo and I get a commission day when it gets delivered, where we spray a job and they are there to make sure we set up, and clean up OK. I'm not massively concerned about being able to get the pump running right, I just wanted a few hints on...

    Machine / Pump Training ?

    Yeah I know buddy but like anything, you want to be doing the best job right from the start. When we do a 50M2 K-rend, there isn't alot of ruling off going on because we're up against it. The H bar sorts that out on the scratch back but it's alot of waste. I'm just after learning a few tricks of...

    Speedskim Technique?

    I love the speedskim system now but it took a few weeks to get right into it. I actually gave it up after the first day, but so glad I stuck with it. SS, then Refina Plazi and then a rubber trowel (sell em at plasterers one stop shop) to finish. The finish is unbeatable and the amount you can...

    Machine / Pump Training ?

    I'm just moving into the 20th Century and getting myself a render pump (elbows shot to bits). Anyone know of any decent training courses ? I've been doing Sand and Cement and Mono's for years by hand, but I really fancy investing in a bit of training before I get out there with a pump. I've been...

    Hello......

    Alright spreads ? Just to introduce myself and say hello. I've been meaning to get involved for years but never got round to it. The main reason I have, is that I'm looking about for a pump (for K-rend etc) and I'm interested what people think. Everyone seems to have a different opinion...
