Had a go at spraying Jub yesterday but had a problem?
Pre wetted the r&s and the 15m hose. Pumped it through on speed 3 (took forever) and when it came out of the end of the pipe I put the gun on and Nothing! It was blocked!
The gun was clean, no material entered it. The gauge had just gone in the red. Took the gun off and put the Ritmo in reverse and that got the needle down on the gauge. Got some back but not a lot. Washed the pipe out and started again.
Second attempt it did it again but this time wet the pipe out with loads of Fairy in it.It blocked just as it was about to come out of the pipe. The last metre of the pipe felt rock hard. So a few whacks with a lump hammer and under it's own pressure a stiffish lump of Jub comes out and the rest is fine.
The Jub had 1 1/2 mugs of water added to the bucket full. This was a trial for applying Jub by machine rather than by hand on larger area's. Also a go at texture finish at the same time when time allowed but that's another story.
Anyone any idea what caused the blockage? And does it have to be speed 3 to pump it through the pipe, why not speed 10, it would be a lot quicker.
