John when you're mates spraying are you keeping up with the edge to keep him flat out or does he have to stop to let you catch up?

on a good area and scaff you can keep up, if lots of detail and shite scaff like you struggle to swing your edge then better to have two behind the sprayer.
again you can change the R/S to suit say a 6:3 is great for a big hotel wall etc and a 4:3 is good for summit with lots of apex dormer cheeks and bad scaff etc on a small house....

to be fair a vid clip of a machine for 2 mins spraying a section dont look that fast but if someone actually did a vid of the whole gable being dropped then you would soon see how the progress is increased, imagine a bag a minute constantly - you would soon see the machine running ahead of you.
for me its not so much about the machine speed its all the donkey about on the scaff that it eliminates and that my friend is worth its weight in gold

A 6-3 is about 22ltrs a minute I think so that about 1 1/2 black builders buckets a minute and every minute. A labourer cannot mix and carry up 3 buckets onto a spot board on a scaffold every 2 minutes non stop.
As John said there are other r&s's. I use a 4-3 as most of my spray is 10mm and on established domestic properties with plenty of pipes and cables in the way.
One sprays, I rule with a serrated edge and a 3rd is behind me spatting the serrations out and sorting out the slumps under sills etc.

@master even though we've hardly ever used our Ritmo when we have used it on rendering it's been great once the little teething problems are ironed out.
We did this little job in West Hanningfield last year, it took about 25 minutes to spray it on. No lugging gear up ladders.

Don't be daft Flynny there's not a box out there strong enough to hold my bulk.
I actually stand on the Ritmo, being a short arsed **** is why I needed the extension hopper.

if you float finish it you can hardly tell, if you I bar it back and then sponge it up you will see all the rocks in this sh1t, its full of pebbles.
they should do a more refined OCR for spraying
If you can't beat them join them, class man
