    Is the modern rendering sustems easier or harder than the old ways? But

    may seem an odd question butnot so long ago when most work was sand and cement mixed in a Belle mixer and applied by hand most plasterers avoided rendering.

The gauge had just gone in...

    Ritmo airline problem

    Using the Ritmo a fair bit now but one annoying problem we have is when spraying every ten seconds or so the air stops the spraying out of the gun for a second.

    Ritmo snag

    Right, used the Ritmo today and it stopped again. Found it was the air hole fully blocked solid again when it was spotless on starting. But solid after only an hour?

    Parmurex

    I intend trying this gear out and comparing to Webers ocr this Spring. In some earlier treads / posts it was mentioned that adding LankoLatex or SBR to the mix makes it stickier and creamier. But it was said not to put into the water barrel as pumps don't like it but spray it into the open...
