How to get best finish on weber mono pral m

[scott.beaumont]

Doing a mono job in chalk wondered what you guys thinks the best way of doing it? do you rule it with serated feather edge? or use the h bar only? do you use two different scratchers? Where do you guys buy these tools?
Feedback gratefully received.

i just put it on to depth usually 2 passes, flatten in with a spatular then scratch back when ready

i have previously flattened with my 20" trowel and its come out ok just wondered if people found it better ruling and baring?

whats that tool ur using to get the gear out the tub render?

As render says, two passes to depth , we like to use serrated rule ( less air bubbles with these) , once straight and flat, over again with edge at tighter angle to close in and to acheive 1mm rises from serrated egde, leave to pick up, h section then fine tune with short nail scratch. easy.:rolleyes)

we use an I section.

as above but with a final pass over with a short but blunt scratcher for the last bit of refinement then brush

Funny thing is Owls, we buy them in as I sections, but have always called then H sections . thats what 90 degrees difference makes.just something thats stuck on the firm I guess.

That should be a thread.....whats the best brush for tidying the mono ???? is there a nicest brush course ?

I lay tight coat on then when it's still tacky lay a coat on as heavy as i can rule it then spat then chase the joints for the rest of the day

Does anyone know where to get hold of a half decent same day scratcher webber used to do mint ones but apparently they stopped making them

its a bucket scoop i get them from Wind-lock : Tools for EIFS, ICFs, SIPs, Stucco, Dow, & Stealth Access Panels an american company but they will post over here, check them out they have some fantastic tools especially internal and external angle trowels to just about any angle you will ever come across

just make your own from an old bucket cut down, much cheaper
