Came across this the other day while searching the net for stuff , didn’t really dawn on me how long machine application has been around
From 1965 way back then it’s hard to imagine guys were pumping gear onto the walls back then, not just a decade ago but over 50 years ago , another interesting thought that crossed my mind while looking at walls at work the other day is say over the last ten years especially there seems to of been a surge of machine use in U.K. but again in terms of time from 1965 here seems a long time to surge as such over here or maybe it just me.
Consider myself quite a newbie to a lot of the older guys on here but can remember some guys on a site in 2007 using mp and remember thinking wtf are they doing , but here in 2019 and if I am correct the mp75 is now not readily available as it was then in merchants , again got me thinking why when seems a perfect solution to applying gear to walls and especially in one go , looking forward into the future really hope this isn’t a sign of things to come , ie boards everywhere and skim or maybe it already is
The idea back in 1965 was right for plasterers and what a good one it was or is but maybe in 2019 in U.K. the lack of plasterers being able to float out is why we are at where we are materials wise
