spraying thincoats

[plasterjfe]

anyone sprayed sm700 at anything between 5mm and 8mm?
I am exploring all options

 

[Gibbo]

yeah i have mate

 

[plasterjfe]

is it ok pal and did you have another person on the spatch behind you. was it full mesh?

 

[Gibbo]

yeah it was okay we used a d 3-4 rotor and off a scissor lift 6 storeys up

 

[plasterjfe]

my plan would be to send a guy in front with a g5 and myself coming through straightening it up

 

[Gibbo]

the g4 is a better machine

 

[plasterjfe]

the guy i have here has a g5 grand

 

[goody]

G4 is pft's best machine for what it does, just needs a cosmetic ritmo style makeover to bring it up to date and voila.

 

[plasterjfe]

i thought the g5 was a bit better given the fact it has built in water pump etc

 

[merlin]

personal preference mate , theyre both good machines, i prefere g5 tho!

 

[southernmonkey]

there's no differance performance wise lad

 

[theblones]

The G5 can cope with a higher output for screeding because the star wheel is faster

 

[plasterjfe]

i will be going onto block and cem board in different places of course and fully meshing. will the machine do the job then given the fact we will be full meshing also.

go for a d4/3 rotor its about half of a normal d6/3 and is about right for 2 quick passes. it will mix the gear nice aswell
