machine wanted for monocouche.

More to the point are you making any money with airless?

 

[Curry]

Steve how do u find the sl1500 for spraying the airless plasters

it's very good proper work horse. We use a 531 tip and get no pulsing. We add just over a pint of water per bag.

The q-tech P036 is no where near as good as the airlessco but still does the job.

Next machines we buy/hire will be the Weanger 940 hydraulic it can spray non stop all day 365. much quieter as well.

Just had a price of £4k plus vat for a Graco mk5. Wasn't sure the sure if the SL1500 sprayed drywall gear. There's a second hand one on Ebay for £1100. Tempted.

 

[Curry]

Have you got a eBay link? I can only find a sl1100 which won't spray plaster

Iv been watching the curriers videos of airless n it looks good. What's the process? I can see tapes and beads being filled out before spraying is that with the airless plaster? And do you trowel to a finish or I read it some where it needs sanding?

 

[PFTwales]

No its their own machine. Not like a normal airless

Any plastering that needs sanding after its dry is a bit of shizz innit.
I can't think of anything more soul destroying than sanding

Dry lining needs sanding but done right it is better than brittle skim.

Lived in a dry lined house from 64 and sold it last year, not 1 crack.

Sandings a piece of piss if you apply the plaster correctly

Your mind goes numb. Its a dusty laborious pain in the bum and another visit. I'd be looking to Get a laccy to do it.

Yep

 

[Rigsby]

A lot easier than the hard slog of skimming. Skimming tears your joints apart.

When I was a plasterer I often used to think 'theres got to be an easier way of getting flat walls than this stupid way'. For me if it allows spray or ames taping machine, than handboard and trowel is last ceturies way of doing it.
