Talk to me about....

[Wezly]

Power floats, im after something for scraping back mono, and maybe floating up s/c. What's your experience of them, and what's a good one to get? Do pft do one or did I imagine that? Thanks.

[Olican]

There are some videos on you tube , wouldn't trust one on a scrape myself

Just been looking at them on refinas website John. There is a pft one, a filzomat, smart looking bit of kit, looks like it would be more than £300 though. Are these on the shelf anywhere over here? @UKPlasteringmachines @PFTwales

The filtzomat . See if u can hire one first . I've used one on s&c and was spot on. It had the pad for mono but never used it

 

[Olican]

That's the one I've seen, done a few hard scrapes in my time but would still be reluctant to use that bad boy

How did it come up mate? Im interested to know what the process was on the s/c?

I'm sure i remember @Nicklearse saying he has one, and was ok if your careful. Got a few acres of mono to scratch up in big straight runs , I'm hoping to make it a bit easier for myself.

on another thread we are discussing the use of hedgehogs. not sure how you can attach them to the power float though.................:RpS_unsure:

 

[nickelarse]

yeah iv got one. good on mono, specially when its hard and does get it pretty flat. just got be careful not to dig in coz it will chew a big hole in the wall. the float attachment is good, used on hardwall and cpi. can be heavy on the arms tho sometimes. sponge is good on cpi and mp75. stuart/southernmonkey/machineplasteringuk and blones use them also. and @grump has used mine. might be able to give some opinions

Something id like to see it working in the flesh.cant get my head round it. All i can see is crop circles appearing on the wall!lol

What powers the Filzomat? Electric motor or compressed air. Saw one on a Blones vid but my worry is press too hard and you could separate the coats.

Electric motor it would seem.

uv just got to keep it moving

 

[UKPlasteringmachines]

The attachment for scraping mono is good if the renders gone a bit hard, i personally wouldn't use it if your doing same day scrapes

 

[Wezly]

What's it like for rubbing up s/c Stuart?
