Tyolean how do you do it ??? How do you spell it ??? lol

[richardbrown]

Hi guys,

I have a Tyolean job to do next week on an extension so just wondering how you guys would attack it IE: what mix would you use ???.

Im not buying that the pre mixed gear as I have to match the existing house.

Also where can I buy one of those green plastic guns, i normally hire them but am looking to buy.

Thanks

Rich

I paid 85quid for my tyrol gun from keyline, there the best ones the green ones imo, Last one i did was in white silicon scrape render, looked the dogs when it was done, make sure you mask the windows etc cos it sprays on the glass when you do the reveals, If your doing it in mortar you'd have to put lime in the backing coat to create suction for the texture

has anyone used one of them air fed tyrolean guns with the hopper on the top?

Just used white K-rend for the texture and white Krend for the backing finished with wood float over an ocr base scratch white beads for drips and reveals

yep ive used the hopper and compressor way and believe me you will not use the hand way ever again

Really easy to do mate just make sure you mask up well cos it does go every where, also if you don't do a lot of tyrolean then just buy a cheap gun for twenty quid (works OK) instead of having eighty quid sat in your lock up for years on end , I'm assuming you will be using cullamix on a 6:1:1 background (sand/cement/lime) just mix it up to a thick soup consistency for a light to med finish and keep it agitated in the bucket whilst applying and just keep the gun moving slowly building up your desired finish , A bit of a cheat is to apply a wet mix on the hardest setting on the gun to really splatter the stuff onto the wall so you got like a primer coat on and the renders all pretty much the same colour then before putting your finish coats on, so if you get any misses you don't get any grin through, be carefull not to get any wet patches or you will end up with bloom , keep the gun moving and don't be tempted to rush it or lay it on too thick at once , Good luck mate

 

[richardbrown]

I have done plenty before but i can never get it like some jobs i have seen IE: very tight but perfect finish, mine always seems a bit all over the place.

I usually wisk up a 3-1 mix so you guys think 2-1 is better ???

Thanks
Rich
