    Want to learn spray plastering

    You are right the prep does need to be good, but depending on which plaster you use some are a bit more forgiving. Knauf Airless Finish has good filling capability and therefore joints do not need to be sanded most of the time. After a two coat spray you will have 2mm on the wall after sanding...

    Airless plaster

    Guys, providing the prep of the joints is good the Airless finish should be achievable without to many problems. If the boards are a bit proud, just feather the jointing out to lose the high points, when dry sand if required and then apply. Knauf provide good support for Airless Plasters, if you...

    Royal blue, as Currier has suggested the Ready Mixed plaster is a much cleaner application and is done using Airless piston pump technology (Paint Spraying) you don't work the material like you would for MP Finish, it is spray flatten and move on, you do this process twice and even allowing for...

    knauf airless. backing coat and finish

    As Currier have suggested the Airless Backing plaster is more for thin joint block systems, where tolerance tend to be far less than on standard block wok walls, the term Airless is down t the delivery method, i.e. no compressor, just a high pressure piston pump. Having said that a Rito will...

    Knauf one coat

    Hi Spreader 27, when you say One Coat, do you mean a skim plaster at 3mm or a One Coat at 13mm for block work? If it's the skim plaster the main difference is the initial set time of 40 - 45 mins, after this it is the same as our competitors. If I can be of help give me a call on 07771 805996. Clive

    Skimming over paint

    Should have added, because the Ready Mixed plaster is not Gypsum based it behaves differently, and it is the polymers and organics binders that enables the product to perform in refurb situations.

    Skimming over paint
