Spray finish

[allyb]

Noticed in a few post that a couple of you lads are applying spray by hand, so Wots the crack with this? Easy, better finish, get more on? Come on lads spill the beans! :RpS_cool:

 

[Nisus]

Gives you a bit longer than board/multi.
So can get a bit more on.
Better spraying it though as it's constantly fresh gear being sprayed so it doesn't all go off at the the same time.

 

[thfc191]

How much does it cost for all the gear you need nisus

 

[spunky]

About 9 grand

 

[bodplasterer]

Is that all :rolleyes)

 

[Gibbo]

peanuts

 

[spunky]

If I didn't have any debt I'd still get one .....maybe that's where I went wrong

 

[Nisus]

How much does it cost for all the gear you need nisus

Well i used a hawk & trowel to apply it mate so didn't cost much really :RpS_biggrin:
I've had a go at spraying it but not got a machine.......yet! :RpS_wink:

 

[spunky]

Are you going to go for it Lee? What's it like spraying it

 

[Nisus]

We'll see mate.
Only had a quick go at spraying it down at BG but it's a piece of p***,
was nice stuff to use.

 

[bodplasterer]

What machine were you spraying with Lee?

 

[Nisus]

Pft ritmo powercoat mate.

 

[Dave5o]

Can you only use this gear on board work?

 

[Nisus]

Plasterboard & anything with thistle bond it on.
Was told it can't be used on backing coats or on Reskims with pva.
But i did a reskim with it over wba.

 

[spunky]

Say you sprayed over hardwall over celcons is it more because you wouldn't have time to flatten it off or the product suitability like board/multi?

 

[Nisus]

Yeah probably mate don't think it likes suctioni.
BG said its summat to do with the particle sizes of the spray finish lol :RpS_biggrin:

 

[Curry]

BG don't know nothing. It's fine on reskims using pva.

Have not sprayed on to hardwall etc yet buthave hand applied works the same as multi if not better due to it higher water content. When we do get round to spraying on a backing coat the plan is to flatten straight away, and 2 coat. Joe at BG was waiting for us to report our findings back.

 

[Nisus]

Yeah I thought it'd be ok on pva just not tried it yet.

 

[Curry]

what do u think of it so far? did u by a pallet?

 

[CKJ]

How much a bag fellas how many metres per bag

 

[s.p.t plastering]

Yeah can u buy it by the bag or does it have to be a pallet

 

[Curry]

Pallet only I think. I know we have to get it like that as the merchant won't stock it. We pay under a fiver a bag. And it does 11m2 it says on the bag but I reckon more.

 

[Nisus]

what do u think of it so far? did u by a pallet?

Nah mate only had a few free bags from BG.
And yeah i thought it was ok to use, that was hand applying though.
Like i said I only had a quick go at spraying it.

 

[Brp]

I've really got to either book the spray day or beg to labour for someone with a machine. Absolutely desperate to see both the machine and the plaster.
P.s i'll bring my trowel and be Ur bitch:rolleyes)

 

[allyb]

What does it finish like?

 

[Nisus]

Like normal finish mate but grey.

 

[irish_spread]

I thought it needed a bit more water when trowelling then multi cos it dragged a bit. And even tho it seemed ok when I left it on day one when I came to finish the job on day 2 I gave it a back of the trowel job cos on domestics they like a gloss finish :RpS_sneaky:

 

[allyb]

I'll c if the yard can order me some in so I can give it a whirl

 

[Curry]

We are waiting on stock at the moment got to go back to multi :RpS_thumbdn:

 

[spunky]

Hand or machine mate

 

[spunky]

What is it with multi does it go off too quick?
