Renderer needed to join a gang of spray renderers. experience needed. a mix of price and daywork. mostly new builds and some refurbs. message me if interested.

Looking for an experienced renderer to work in Poole Bournemouth area with a local spray render company. Possible full time. must be self employed , have own transport. Mix of price and daywork. Get in touch if interested.

Not used it on Weber, but used it on Parex. And vice versa parex accel on k-rend. They're all the same IMO, do the same job.

Mono onto renderboard (only AquaPanel) is no problem. We have done loads. K-rends spec is HPX and mesh, 10mm beads and mono..... done, but always get a spec from the render manufacturer so your covered.

I find it slumps a bit. Got to get the consistency right. it doesn't like thickness

Aqual Panel is the best...... right Rich? (the renderers choice)

Has anyone used this a lot... any good? Do you need to scratch coat it first or can it be sprayed in one go (two passes)? Does the blockwork grin through if you dont scratch coat it first? Comments appreciated.

If you're going to rend aid it, I would put some nylon mesh in to that, and then OCR it, its less hassle than getting a cement mixer, a pile of sand, giving it a scratch coat, waiting for it to cure, then giving it a second coat of s+c!

Whats this stuff? accelerator for top coat? Tell me more!!!!

yes its good advice. I had an expensive lesson once and once only!

For Sale. 36 bags of Parex Monorex GM Colour - Mouse Grey £150 Can use to dub out, or as a contrast colour ect Pick up from Poole, Dorset E-mail if you're interested, as I'm not always on here info@sprayrender.net Cheers

Does anyone think it make a difference which accelerator you use for the various mono renders, e.g k-rend accelerator for parex, or axel3000 for k-rend ect or is it all the same?

Many thanks Plasterjfe, PFT Wales, I'll get on the case.. early(er) days here we come!

By suction hose you mean, a hose coming off the machine and dropped into a barrel and let the water pump on the machine suck it through?

What ,barrels with a gika fitting at the bottom (like the ball cock barrel) then just swap over?

Looking for a bit of advice on how to dose this using a mtec300, as the water supply is constantly filling the butt up (butt with stop cock) Is anyone using accelerator with an electric machine? How is it done? 2-3 butts for a spray - pre dosed? Its getting towards that time of year when when...

Hello Sam, We're a spray render company based in poole, send me your phone number for a chat about work - info@sprayrender.net

We just started a large house with K1, (I was talked into using it by the reps) sprayed a pallet on by 10;30, all good nice to spray and rule, thought they might have got this right, but then noticed large nasty cracks all over, especially between scaff lifts. It was still quite soft too. So we...

Thanks albertnobacon. Whats the waiting time like for same day scrape?(standard 7N blocks) same as parex? The only thing is it doesn't have a BBA cert at the moment.

Got a job coming up soon for k1 (300m2), whats it like compared to the others, (e-grade, parex,ect) Does it stay softer than egrade? whats the workability like? Went off egrade because of the hair line cracking problems, apparently the k1 is supposed to be a bit more flexible to overcome this...

Can you PM me some details please, we are based in poole, do quite a bit in xchurch. is it labour only? and how much per metre?, which system? What kind of project ect... cheers

Yeah i agree, you can get the finish just the same as multi. as long as you know how to use it.

Blimey, that's a high water dosage! I was gonna start at about 900. I'm probably too used to renders with a lower dosage. Will a uni star r+s be ok to use with mp75

Hi Ryan, yeah spraying it on with the M-tec 300. What was the water setting?

Anybody using this at the mo' ? I'll be using it next week for the first in a few years. Is it still nice and creamy to use? Was told by someone that it slumps a lot and doesn't close in as it used to. ??

Yeah they've lost a lot of custom due to the hairline cracking. They have been in touch with me offering a couple of free pallets of K1 to trial. We used to use it all the time, but now use Parex mainly. I'll see what its like- hopefully its good, I do like the 'sparkle' of k-rend.

Yeah as long as you get the first coat just right, To thick and the second coat will be too grainy. Too thin and it hangs like fcuk,but the latter is better. Don't see why your maite top coat wouldn't work- give it a go.

Cheers Rich, But i think It'll be the first and last time I do it!

Gave it a go today. And it went pretty well - looks good. Gave it a tight coat with mesh, left it over night then topped it next day. Gave it a good spat and then a splash of water to tidy things up. And like you said GT776 let it pull right in before trying to finish it. Got the Rafina power...

Can't find Goodys post, can you direct me? Cheers

yeah was thinking of meshing one day to pull out the thickness and straighten things up a bit, then toping it the next day. so you would use a standard rendering float or what? We've got some dense sponge floats, I'm gonna give it a go with them Not looking forward to it I must admit

Has anyone had any experience finishing this stuff to recieve paint, like a plain face s+c render? Its on Aquapanel, so it'll be fully meshed and using 6mm beads. Any tips would be appreciated.

Same as you Keith, go gentle and its ok. I've got a blue one, a red one and an aluminium one, and they all do it! You've got to go easy with the angle planers anyway. A couple of scrapes too much and you've fcuked it - you've got to angle it just right

Yeah we'll be spraying it on, it's monorex GF. Just did a little test panel on a piece of aquapanel at 9 this morning, its still soft now at 8 in the evening. Next day scrape it is then!!

Got a Parex mono job to do next week (hopefully no rain) Just wondering if any one has done a next day scrape as the tempretures aren't that warm at the mo. Don't Know wheather to risk it or not. Its on brickwork with monogris basecoat.

Thanks for all your imput, I'm gonna do the job in Knauf Aqua Panel. I think its the best option, Much more substance/strenght to it and i trust it!and i don't think that a paper backed board will stand the test of time, it's bound to get damp at some stage and it sound like most of you would...

OK thanks for that owls.

will it take k-rend? after hpx and mesh of course. Has it got the strenght of a cement board?

Has anybody had any experience with this product? Thinking of using it on a timber framed house instead of Aqua panel. Its lighter and easier to cut but I'm a bit dubious about it - cause it looks and feels like plasterboard. Does it take both mineral and acrylic systems?

are the angled steel disks any good then or does it do much the same as the nail float?

I've been using the nail float attachment. I've seen the angled steel attachment, but I didn't know what it was for. I thought it was for trowelling or something. Is it worth getting one of those? And is an orange sponge all you need, no floating disk?

Blones, whats the crack to floating up marmorit. what are the attachments you need?

I want to try floating up marmorit with it. Has any one any experience with that. Spunky, you? was that your you tube clip with the filz o mat?

I recon the scrapers will last a month or so (depending how hard it is) but you can buy replacement ones, I think they're about 3 or 4 quid each - the disk takes 5. We did try to put the I section over it but it was screeching like fook and had little effect but it still looked ok even with the...

yeah mate i'm well happy with it. It took 2 hours off a 70 bag scrape down! They've got a slowish speed motor so you can't do much damage if if you accidently dig in. It's good to get the surface off so you can finish it with the hand scrapers, gets it pretty flat too - its been to hard to I...

I've just bought one of the eibenstock ones, been using it for scraping down k-rend - there're s**t hot. not used any of the sponge disks yet though

I always use a butt. The amount of crap that comes through the tap soon blocks the filter.

No, there was 4 of us spraying on, but only two the next day scraping down. got an M-TEC 300

Yeah, sprayed 110 bags of k-rend on friday. Started about 2 and finished bout 5. it was fookin hard sat morning took till 3 to finish it all but there was only two of us. was a two handed scrape towards the end. could have done with one of those electric scrapers! not going to put as much on...
