I don't buy into it tbh......we did a Parex ewi job recently using ehi. The customer fitted the boards and to be fair they were fully bonded and the tightest boarding I've seen. He was a right perfectionist and took ages to do it before we turned up. We then sprayed the maite & mesh and left...

Aye unfortunately.....cement mixer. At least that way the labs free to jump up on the mesh whilst its mixing. Not gonna bother with the whisk for that reason. Shame it doesn't go through the pump. Why is that btw.....what does it do to the pump to stop it working? Or is it the machine...

Most people only need 1 machine. If its you and a lab then the ritmo is all you need. Ok it's a bit slower than a g4 but if it ain't stopping from one side of a lift to another it's quick enough. If you've a guy behind ruling then it's only on wide open pine ends that a little more speed...

Dyw dyw get a room you pair!

What about the wetherby eps? Phenolics daft money

To go with a ritmo m 240 the Refina 240v is perfect. Not sure on the 110 version but the mains powered one runs all day without ever getting too hot and it's never cut out once.

Yep exactly.....after using weber Parex is just a long day for no need. Parex in winter though. I think weber should bring out a fine pral m to compete with parex's gf. It's a better finish and everyone prefers it

Spraying ehi over maite & insulation....around £12-14 a bag. Nice stuff. It's gf so a nice tight finish. We're spraying at 180 and a next day scrape. Lovelly productive stuff in that it's r******d or the lime in it makes it a next dayer even at this time of year. Try not to use parex in...

We're on 225 for pral m speed 10. Never ever get above that really.....ehi is on 180! And it ain't dry.

I've got the Refina c330 comp. it's a cracking little bit of kit. Enough air to give you a nice even texture, it's cheap and most importantly....it's orange so matches the ritmo!

Weber mesh is one size fits all and it's like 355

This is interesting....sand & cement through a ritmo?! Never tried but god it would come in handy if just as a dubbing coat.

Working with 15mm beads is safer tho when scraped monos the finish....but if your keen enough about making sure no bits of parinter covering the wings of the beads are too high to interfere with the finish 10 might be fine. A brush down as you go should keep things neat, or clean up after...

That's what it's for mate.....I'd be tempted to use 10mm beads fixed with parinter in solid bands if its a bit wooly or 15mm on tight if its nice and flat etc. treat it like mono over insulation where the parinter makes up 5mm of the 15mm total, so mono at 10mm max. That's assuming you heed...

Sprayed about 1.30 til 4.30. Quite soft next day...just about perfect for an overnighter. In winter I bet you could spray in the morn and scrape next morn

Sounds a bit steep to me mate for the age and desirability etc. but it'll earn you dosh back so it's a good buy in that sense. it's an oil tanker of a machine mind ...but if there's a few of you it should be ok. Wouldn't read too much into the thin coat thingy....you need the little hopper...

Oh gibbo that was straight from the heart....I'm touched :)

Cheers dood afternoon it is then

Aye maybe that was a bit cringefully keen but you know you luvs it gibbo

Anybody know if ehi this time of year is a next day scrape still. Using it tomorrow for first time on any real area over graphite insulation with maite basecoat. Are we better off spraying afternoon and scraping next morn or spraying early and finishing late afternoon? Any advice much...

Maybe heavy grain acrylic sprayed or even a light roughcast in a home cinema romm to help with sound bouncing off the walls. Few pieces of large format vibrant art and you've a funky and functional room at little cost

Yep I can see that looking nice mate.....you pay a fortune for stone etc in domestic situations. With a bit of thinking outside the box there's loads of potential to use renders indoors to get that kind of architectural look you see in the mags etc

That sounds quite sexy tbh.....what worktop may I ask butt?

Really....Yep it's definitely a standalone product with its super whiteness(and smell!) it's one for para guard though to keep the mint look of it

Smells sweet for some reason. Like opening a tin of paint. It is a nice finish. A roughcast would look wicked

It's worth doing more than not doing. You will learn things, a bit of confidence and product knowledge if anything more than practical. Then tackle some garden walls etc. try and find a mono process explanation I did on here a while ago. Good luck

Day after 2nd coat I use a scratch pad to clean up the margins and if there's still some life left in the wall you can still cut through some spat lines etc. definitely worth doing IMO. Spraying maite at the mo over insulation ready for an ehi topcoat. Am spraying the whole lift on in about...

6-10 mm plastic angle beads dabbed on, 10mm drips fitted as tight as. Parinter scratch coat with weber mesh then monorex/pral m topcoat of 6-7mm. Be bombproof if base is sound.

A real talent there.....lovely work. Is it regular s&c or OCR etc mark?

Weber OCR is just over a pound or so more a bag but is light years ahead....and one coat on block. Bobby do you sponge the topcoat after float? It improves the finish IMO but more importantly closes in and hydrates the wall so it retains moisture better

The bead doesn't curve nicely tho if the radius is too tight

thanks dude...that's a wicked idea

I agree, with the good placement they have in the market...shame the product has been left behind. All they need is to tweak the formula(copy weber, Parex) and change the bags so that it has a relaunch and hey presto....lots of Krend being used and praised. Doesn't the boss of Krend care at...

in a nutshell....the ritmo has elevated pft above the rest. It's a triumph in product design and placement. It's what's needed out there for the small to medium outfit doing a range of work. Couple that with a backup network of time served dealers and pft's ability to listen to the end users...

I had some curved windows to do and planned to use the upside-down drip bead until on the day the radius was too tight and distorted the hell out of the bead. Back to ply and jigsaw

using parex and now weber regularly spraying.....picked up a couple of bags of krend from local selco just to get a head start on some beading before gear arrived. omfg what sheizer.....dead, crude, slumpy, slidey. I've said it before but this stuff is the coloured render equivalent of cpi gp...

dbp blue dolphin uv resistant pvc tape like

Those renders are only for reveals etc aren't they? Or dubbing out silly amounts. As an insulator it's one hell of a cold bridge?!?

Spunk you'll be dying for a ritmo in no time!

I always like to see the frame when beading....and it's usually wet from a bit of a brush at beading time so what's your method for masking same time butt?

Yo spunk...wait til you spray weber OCR onto blocks and be walking away at 4 with a floated wall that's minter than by hand! Pitty the guy sitting next to you on the way home when your getting rather keen about your machine lol

Is that true.....does ehi have more lime? If so why's parinter not suitable for insulation?

What's next webex lol....parmorits got a nice ring to it actually

My ritmo has stopped working off the gun for some reason. No obvious air blockage as its sufficient to spray. Just the hassle of manually turning off and on at the machine. Was using the remote cable last few times... Now back to regular spraying and nope, no auto. Can you take the air...

That's a good question, perhaps blones can remember, it was less than his lk402 when I tested it up there.

No this is heavier than that mate...more like traditional roughcast. Bit expensive to use dpr at such thickness but I had a load of tubs accumulated from jobs so was free ish. Maite mixed to dpr consistency is a good possibility but still pricey. Blanc du littoral's got some good potential...

Ghostings more to do with mono and the pattern of blocks showing through especially after its been raining. With a thin coat over the top....not sure on the book but 10-12mm would be enough.

Heres some pics of 1mm dpr sprayed last year as a roughcast with the swing gun and onboard ritmo compressor. It was an old concrete panel garage that I clad with gtec aqua boards and then maite/mesh etc. hell of a renovation without actually knocking the thing down and building a new garage...

Pft do the samba range rich....plenty from Wagner etc. have you considered a hopper with your compressor? Refina do a decent hopper/gun for not much dough

They say its not suitable over insulation. Is there a genuine reason or does it threaten sales of mega pricey maite? Just a thought but couldn't parinter be used as a board adhesive when pinning anyway? If it sticks to paint, why not insulation? Surely it would perform as well as monorex ehi?
