Might be interested send me some pics Kevseabass@aol.com

Ok @ BG I'll call you tomorrow but you can see the general consensus as regards BG products at the moment, so I don't want to have to convince you that the multi is bad. Like I said the job is hard enough without bad product.

Every spread I've asked round here has now had the problem, all said fine until the bags with the little labell advertising unifinish

They're probably cutting it with all that unifinish they'll never sell

Hs anyone else noticed mutli finish has gone bad in the last week or two. You can tell when mixing it doesn't quite look right and trowels up terrible. It may be coincidence but is it this time of year when they adjust retarder in the product? It almost looks abit grainy holds water so goes on...

Funny you should say that I'm a quarter german

I have had a 110v casals mixing drill, Spanish company I think. I can't praise it enough its filthy but still going strong (12 years), never even had the brushes changed. It's been absolutely thrashed all its life even mixes sand and cement no probs, just wish I could find another. I love that...

First thing I noticed about the ritmo, I would ditch the coach boat straight away and graft in a Heavy duty toggle latch, no spanner needed.

I can defo see the benefits of having at least another person or someone spraying, I've always found it hard to find other reliable and good plasterers, the good ones quite rightly usually have their own work and will drop you like a stone just when you need them. The good thing is if I got help...

Hiring a ritmo at the moment, I throws it on fast I wouldn't need anything faster on my own, could defo do with a hopper. I'm just chucking through what's available to me to test it out. Doing an old farm house were one coat was specified (unlevel walls rounded corners etc) it went through a...

Got you number of website Ian I'll call you in about an hour

Most people would need an extra pair of hands to render by hand up scaffolding but I've nearly always done it on my own so I'm used to a bit of running around, is there a hopper that can be loaded with a few bags to get going?? And can the machines be stopped easily?

Waterproofer even

I'm going to bite the bullet and get a machine I've been threatening for ages, I've had enough of being let down by people (hand applied) and want to get a decent output on my own. Which would be the best machine for someone on there own, I know everyone crows on about ritmo but I want as much...

It's similar to scraped mono but bigger pits in amongst smoother bits, it looks nice whatever it is.

** I've seen some houses

I've done quite a bit of lime rendering but always float and sponge my finish. I've some houses with what looks like a scrape lime "pitted" finish, anyone know what I'm on about and how it's done. I know the forum police might tell me there's a lime section but it doesn't seem to get much action

Ha, anyone sponging one coat multi by hand wouldn't know if it hit them in the face... Ironically that's what usually happens with a good hand job.

That wouldn't work for me if I was paying for it.

Is it sprayed in one coat of multi this is what I can't get my head around. Because one coat of multi by hand doesn't work no matter how much we wish it did.

I'd say hand applied multi 9/10 for finish what would you honestly give the best sprayed finish whatever product, I've heard people say its perfect but then again I've seen some of their multi hand applied that I'd give a 6/10 at a push. I've never seen a sprayed finish myself.

Tenryu! That's some nice gear, is it worth the £££. I use an old greys bass rod and Abu fixed for the odd stroll down the beach these days. There's loads of brands out there now I haven't got a clue about, very much like my knowlegde of plastering machines !!

I'll give you a call tomorrow about hire what's yer number ??

I've got a nice job coming up I'd love to try a pump and CPI on. what's the hire rate if I got on with it I'd buy one. Also does the bagged render have any sort of waterproofer for external?

That's good advice pft. Would a cheap pump be classed as a concrete pump? Maybe that's the way forward and a smaller machine for bagged s&c. Something to think about

How much are you after? I'd be into that

I'm going to cut into free flow screed, but in the part of the world I come from where most of the work is for smaller builders barn conversions etc, and trying to educate some of these old boys or the public for that matter to modern renders is hard going, sand and cement it is for us for...

Not many used compact 60's around thanks though, looks abit like a sp11 i assume it does the same??? anyone else know anything that might help?

Which would be a suitable machine? Sp11's come in a couple different models can anyone tell me which is which and what they do? Does one type mix and the other doesn't with the same output? Cheers

*border not board

the somerset/dorset board I have a funny accent. What size was the bass and what did you catch it on???

About half of the jobs i do

Is it a spray finish for multi backgrounds? I'd like to go the spray route but i've found there really is no short cuts with multifinish in the past. Sponging giving a weak surface, no offense but it sounds a bit bodgy I maybe wrong but i've seen some very unacceptable plastering on sites that...

I've seen the vid of the ritmo spraying multi, I'm sceptical about whether an a1 finish is achievable in one coat we all know how streaky multi can get if too thick and/or thin. It looked like it was filmed on a similar quality camera as the JFK shooting so its a job to tell. the long and short...
