Need help from experienced machine men on this forum.........

Might have a job on using Fibrelime onto new breeze block.
1. Is it sprayable? (Fibre lime that is).
2. What machine would you use.
3. Can I hire a suitable machine and give it a go myself? (Is it difficult, what are the problems)
4. If it is spray able would it be best to sub the job out to an existing spray gang?
Thanks in advance,
Dropsalot.

Sub it out to a machine gang and work with them. You cannot hire a machine and use it without training first.

Don't hire a machine if you don't know how to use it, be quicker handballing

Thanks Stuart 23 & Rigsby, coming to the conclusion hand balling might just be easier all around.
Thank you both.

Is fibre lime that awful stuff that comes ready mixed in buckets? If it is I doubt it'll go thru a machine there's massive clumps of fiber even when you put a paddle thru it it all wraps round the paddle. I was going to do a job in thermalime and we got a bag sent to us to try and it mixes really easily and spreads like bonding. We were gonna try putting it thru our machine but if it didn't work it's easy to spread anyway. Have a look at it on anglia lime web site
