Thin coat float

[ankers]

Any lads spray thin coat and float? We are looking at spraying and floating just worries how long the scaff joins can be left open while we finish the flank? 10 mins or half hour?

Sure I answered this on another thread. You won’t be able to do it.
Either spray or trowel. Try it though. Prove me wrong.

Here is the wall. Customer doesn't want the textured look. Can I not get the lad to spray in sections and wait for me to catch up. Surely it's the same as hard applying as you still have to leave a join open to go down to the next flank?

the sprayer has too much air which skins it over instantly

I’ve never had problems spraying the joins with a water sprayer. Buys a lot of time, then the extra water evaporates.

That’s hand applying

Yes, a mist over the join. Stops the skinning over.

Cheers mate that's a massive help. Should give me 10 mins to catch up

If I was hand applying I'd have a man on each lift so you can controll the dry line by all moving across together, but with machine and hose maybe difficult to do, by hand u can go a meter on each lift at the same time moving sideways rather than up or down, hope this helps somehow

Sorry moving sideways on all lifts rather than lift at a time leaves longer dry line

Are you putting an expansion bead down the center... Providing its not to hot i reckon the two of you would have that easy enough to just hand apply anyway?
