Airless

[luckylad]

Hi
I've been looking at the airless plaster and was wondering, do you have to prepare moisture resistant board like you would with multi finish?
Do those Graco mark v machines break down into smaller pieces, to get them upstairs and the like?

 

[skim_I]

I just spray straight on to moisture resistant board haven’t had any problems. Graco mark v doesn’t break down to small parts

Ok,thanks for that.
Are all airless plasters the same or is one manufacturer better than the others

Really?! Why’s that Tony?

I sent knauf an email enquiry to do the airless course, no one ever got back to me

 

[luckylad]

Give Clive Reeves at knauf a call about the course

It’s not silky smooth or as durable as proper skim. The finish is dead flat, but grainy.

It's perfect for decoration and it should be smooth.

Also it does go hard but only once paint is applied. Makes it mega easy to patch prior to decs

I sand it with 220 grit and it’s still gritty in my opinion. I’m a fussy c**t though.

Thanks. The builder is happy. That’s the main thing.

Do you spray and trowel up on your own?

Will you keep pushing this system then Tony? Do you find it quite easy?

 

[Rossi46]

@Vincey let’s get on a course together

 

[TonyM]

When I’ve done it, one sprays and one flattens it with spats. My mate did the spraying and spatting on his own on this one as I was busy boarding the next house.

I will, but I still think it’s a long drawn out process to get a good finish.

Why did you use drywall sealer?
I thought airless is paintable without any prep

Always do. Downstairs was just taped so did the lot. Plus it’s more ££££££
