I use a hawk and trowel

[McPlaster]

But if i have monocouche to do regardless of manufacturer i use a Mai G4 and forget the hawk and trowel 8) When i float and set sometimes i use a ritmo to apply hardwall or a ritmo to do small monocouche jobs. I used a diesel pump for a long time and realised the benefits in these too:
1. Hawk and trowel. (Made a serious living with this bought home and educated children)
2.G4 ( I like this now because i mainly operate this and it's a breeze when you're shagged out) Good money too!
3.Ritmo ( Little bit of an indulgence because i made money with the above, beats knocking up in tub though :-\)
4.Diesel mixerpump ( Only way to start spraying render, i learned so much using one of these, good machine).
I genuinely hope this is of help to people thinking about machine plastering.

You got that right, been plastering a long time now about 28 years (That's frightening). I've only been using machines to assist for about 4 years though.
