Has anybody used the compressor and hopper Refina sell? Texaspray Hopper Gun.
Is it any good? can you get a fine texture with Cullamix?
Thanks

:huh:How much are they by the way??
What about a compressor tho? What do you have to be aware of ? I mean is there a specific size kind of thing? I read on shrewtwix about a compressor on offer but the customer comments were not good as they said you only got a few seconds spraying ??I use the marshalltown hopper it does a great job and less expensive than the refina one.
Nice one buddy :RpS_thumbup:Clarke Air Texture Gun - CTG8 - Machine Mart
You cn get a cheap gun from machine mart, you its get different nozzles for different textures plus you can alter the airflow on compressor to achieve different finishes
I only get a couple a year...but that's enough if you know what I mean!
Im keen for somthing like that as got some tyrolean coming up and dont fancy gunning it by hand ?? Getting too old for that lark lol

Depending how dark the finished render is (different cement manufacturers some dark some not so) we mixed a wet slurry of watered down Tyrolean and rollored on beforehand. It dries in quick and helps eliminate any areas of your render showing through.Do you guys use a primer under tyrolean?last job I did was white and it needed a heavy coverage to cover the render.they painted it after as they wasn't happy with the colour

I use lime in my render for Tyrolean too malc but I do like your alternative suggestion takes any risk of "blooming" out of the equation also??
I have a customer who can't decide between ivory and cream ?? Been trying to find the small sample blocks at the merchants for them to look at but not had any luck ?? All they have is k rend samples which is completely different!?? Thing is I'm not keen to order 20 odd bags and them not like it and change their minds?? They don't want to paint either so its been a pain to be honest??cullamix may sometimes bloom on the dark colours , but they are not available now.
we did have cullamix, a special order in black, when we tyroleaned the vice chancellors house at essex university.

I'll email them. Cheers for that malc :RpS_thumbup:we have had the sample blocks for the tyrolean colours, we use to send for them from blue circle cement who made cullamix. not from builders merchants.
Has the supplier not got a web site ,with a chart ? if we have customer that really is unsure what colour i order a bag of both ,but i normally have most colours for mono in my garage :RpS_blushing:I have a customer who can't decide between ivory and cream ??

No mate ivory as I live and breathe its like a magnolia colour and the cream is more yellow. Can't help thinking it was from Weber but its been that long since I've had to use any??i do not think i have ever seen ivory cullamix. do you mean off white? it would be quicker for you to paint it!
