Have been looking to see if any one else has asked similar question but no luck. I am looking at getting a machine for rendering but wanting to hire one prior to taking the plunge. I will be using for 3 coat render work as using lime. My question is though, due to the stonework not being flat is it better to level this up by hand an then hire machine to do just the main coats, Or use the machine for all of it? I wasnt sure if it would be too much hassle using the machine as they seem more suited for even coats due to the constant flow rate. Any suggestions much appreciated!
