Anyone know which sponge I use for sponging OCR?
And has anyone used the plastic float attachment on OCR?

Sorry mate, can't help you on that one.
Ian Jones has got PFT power float, tried to get one but they have stopped production, new one coming soon apparently. Had to get the Refina, but they sell lots of different types of sponges and even a plastic float for it. I'm going to try Isection then sponge on this job, not sure which sponge is best.
Just out of interest how do you use OCR now mate?
So next time you will spray,rule i section then sponge?
I couldn't bring myself to bar OCR, rather spend double time ruling it.
I hate the fact that with mono 17% of the gear applied comes back of the wall and in the bin. Even more of ball ache on a domestic when you want to leave the job spotless, the scrapings get everywhere.
According to technical Bobby you can get the sponge on it straight after I section.
CPI is nice too float but I remember reading on here you have had problems with that in the past?
I see so many rendaid jobs just trowed on :RpS_confused: you tube is full of them ,we trowel on then run a roller over it to give the key as per specApplication
With a hawk and trowel or an open hopper spray gun, apply a tight layer 2 - 3 mm thick to the substrate. Texture the surface using a well loaded roller.
Apply no more than 2 - 3 m2 before texturing. It is important that the final texture achieved should be a deep, heavy stipple finish with a textured depth of 5 - 10 mm.
For difficult substrates, such as those with low suction or those retaining dust after cleaning, scrub weber.rend aid well into the surface with a small hand brush and then texture with the brush or roller.
Interesting.let us know how you get on then with that.
Yes there where a few issues with cracking.
I changed my scratcher and kept the topcoat a little tighter and was loads better.
Applied 1.5 pallets of OCR today 3 of us by hand to concrete block. Did tight coat then bedded in weber mesh then kept on applying to get level with beading then ruled of flat. Dropped back about 30-45 min later. Used the Refina power float attachment first to rub it up flat but the gear was still quite wet but had began to form a slight crust I then put on the thick sponge attachment and went over it again just to really pimp it up . The result was a flawless finish the machine did me proud. In my opinion this is the best way to finish OCR
