Seen a clip a bit back Spunky,and they look the dogs. I bloody hate scraping back its proper boring.

I have one with sponge attachments but would never have the balls to use it for scraping as it does have a tendency to go where it wants at times, and I could imagine it digging the mono out badly plus its not a light bit of kit you will soon get arm ache. I have a vid somewhere sponging up s&c which by the way crazed so only use it on ocr now. Ill see if I can post it.

I have a Filzomat with a scraper but never had to use it. I should imagine in a worse case scenario it would be handy to initially break its back and open up the surface to then leave a bit for the I section.

great bit of kit to have the Filzomat on flat rendered walls.

Nice on MP 75 although a little unnecessary. Cpi and ocr the float and sponge work well. Scraper is good on mono too. Just have to be a little carefull. It can bite and take a lump out. But it does work well. And apparently it's good on base coat too

Why won't it work on traditional s&c rigs?

I actually have two, which I use at the same! One in each hand!

Never used it on sand and cement. If it was fatty enough it might work.

Thats the problem it brings up too much fat and you end up with surface crazing.
