Spraying Multi-Finish with Refina SPX410 spray pump

This video is about Spraying Multi-Finish with Refina SPX410 spray pump. Then finishing it with the one coat sponge method. I have been asked to trial the Spray pump by Refina and I give my verdict at the end of the video. In brief, its not quicker than applying by hand, but can take a lot of labour out of big jobs, and reasonably priced for a spray machine.

[@smithy4297]

External rendering machines I agree with , quicker and easier , a machine that sprays skim is just a no no . The time you cover and set up I would have layed a 2 bag first coat on ( and I would have scrimmed the joints) 😂 it would be useful in a massive warehouse with no windows or anything to mask but not in a new build design with exposed oak beams and wood sash Windows 🙈

[@jimshaw68]

I wish this stuff was out when i was younger , my back might still be in 1 piece , who cares how much the machine costs , when you think of how much easier it would make the job , less wear and tear on the joints .

[@kf5541]

I’m 39 now Jim and back, knees and elbows aren’t feeling to clever, may invest in this as I’m on price still

Id do them walls in under 2 minutes easy with a trowel spread and flattened

[@TheFatman2436]

It's good to try new things but I really enjoy spreading it from a hawk. I don't do commercial work so I guess you gotta think of the output seen your other videos great stuff

Yeah I often don't bother to scrim for that fresh cracky look the customer loves.

You have to think about the wear and tear on your body after 20 yr of plastering your joints soon start to feel it.

[@rbaker73]

fully agree, people don't take that into the equation and the onset of arthritis

[@kingshamie1332]

I'm plastering 20years or more I've worked with the sand and cement sprayer just a while ago but not to keen and spraying an skim coat fair messy if you had ceilings finished over head

[@leemullen5305]

stick a l.e.d light near them walls after being painted.refina trowels from start to finnish is a no..no.drags fat everywhere and you cant get the preasure u need with a flexi trowel.flatten once wirh a flexi if need be then after that finnish with a hard marsheltown.ive seen loads of people do it that way on site and as soon as them lights are shun down them the easyfiller comes out

[@plasteringmagicgoldplaster9664]

No tape on the joint and I would have had that on by the time you had got the first board on? Plastering is it?

I’ve blinked and the guy had half the wall done, some people you just have to salute

[@anekaresepmakanan]

gooood

[@stevengordon2145]

you need to cover everything before you even start..and you can't let the machine run dry otherwise you could end up needing to get it serviced..plus Try using a spray system in a domestic job 👎....turst me your gonna get a bill from the client for cleaning if you don't cover everywhere your working spray systems are good on site or external jobs and that's it plus your start up costs are I'm region of £3000 don't be fooled by the hype! sorry if this comes across as negative comment or trying to bash your channel guy's.. but I feel someone needs to tell the turth!

[@london-plasterercom]

Yes, I would agree with you Steven. They are best used for site work not domestic jobs. As for cleaning the hose etc, that is not a problem as you get a couple of small sponge balls that you run through after spraying and it cleans it through.

[@stevengordon2145]

london-plasterer.com yes I know all about cleaning these and the bigger machines out bud I've worked on number of schools and plenty of external site jobs so im talking from experience. but at the same time if a person or persons can make that spray system work without damage to a clients home.. then fair play! but me personally I'm unwilling to take the risk as my businesses reputation rests on finish and cleanliness!

[@tj9382]

steven gordon so in other words, by the time you covered everything and had to spray over twice, you’d have done the job by hand in considerably less time.

[@tomyates5075]

Anton K pretty much bang on... those two walls he’s doing in the video would of been almost pulling up by now if it was hand applied 😂

[@stevengordon2145]

@@tj9382 in a nutshell yes mate. Don't get me wrong tho, on external jobs these machines are a god send. But domestic jobs 100% pass for me. But if you are willing to take the risk and can make it work maximum respect 👍

Is this £1700 for all the kit? Or plus compressor etc etc?

Looks like more work than traditional hand plastering . There too much playing around with it

there is definitely not scrim cloth on that joint

There no scrim because I'm guessing it a mock up or demonstration

[@bucksjetwashing9776]

Hi mate, I just picked up one of these. Are you still using it today? Any tips? Also are you able to use it on any bagged tenders?

[@bucksjetwashing9776]

Renders*

[@sjh0010]

I prefer the proper way. You make love to a wall like that and it blisters. I could do the same on my own with my trusty big whisk, hawk and float, bucket and brush.

[@PaulSmith-wz2yw]

i tried the pft ritmo to do multi finish. It was not practical onsite..very messy and didnt save me time due to cleaning ect....mp75 straight onto blockwork would work better for commercial spreads as its a one coat plaster you rule off...sponge then trowell up onto brickwork but this to skim in my opinion is a waste of time. Look at the mess on the floor...you need to tape up everywhere and site agents arent keen in my experience. Machines are brilliant with specialized renders though but with a 3mm skim the tech just isnt there. But thanks for the video. best wishes

[@supershev1888]

All the experts slating the guy. I agree that it's not fast enough etc but its up to the person how they work. It's the finish at the end of the day that's what counts

[@maggseb]

Do they rent this machine in south Texas?

[@michaelhylton8338]

so you put the first and second coat on on one hit? how much are we talking for one of these?

[@london-plasterercom]

yes i use the sponge method, so one thick coat of 3/4mm is enough. The machine is about £1700 excluding VAT. Its on the Refina website

[@mejustanormalguy4742]

I always wanted to try one of those

Hi Russ have u a video I'd love to see it working

[@PaulSmith-wz2yw]

Used a pft ritmo . Doing multi finish cost me nearly 10k. Used it on a site with houses. Extremely messy with a mist of multi finish. Didn’t save me any time at all, just more cleaning. Good machine for k rend etc but spraying multi? Nah. Using a thicker one coat like mp75 would work well with it but it’s getting people to use it.

[@roblex63]

One thing that was certain in life was .. you would never see a fat plasterer... with this machine , that is now not a certainty....

[@markchambers9415]

been plastering 35 years.im one fat fella.

[@scottyscarpyones]

This is how to skim the long way

[@goldenalex]

This machine in my opinion is only suitable for work in your own home. The amount of output that spray gives is not enough to meet strict deadlines or make any money on private jobs. You say its less labour but you need 3 lads to put 2 bags of multi on?

[@richardstokes912]

Could have had that on by now

[@paulhearse8751]

how many meters can 3 people do in a set?

[@london-plasterercom]

for you guys 100m2???

[@adamcunningham2511]

Whats the point in going through all that trouble to spray it all on if you are just gonna sponge it up anyway. Surely your using as much energy as you would troweling it on flat in the 1st place??

Time you would have done all this a plasterer would have had it all plastered, anyway how long to clean out this machine as well, sometimes I think you need to carry on like thay did years a go. A man with a hawk and trowel

What a messy way to do this and a hell of a lot more work these things should make the job easier get it on by hand leave it ten mins then take the trowel marks out it leave it another ten mins clean your tools get clean water then trowel it up and give it a polish simple.

Knock up multi.. add dynamite .. room laid on.

[@monkcat6235]

There are (professional) plasterers who earning a living at it and have built up the muscle memory to do great work at a good speed. There are (jack of all trades) who have to maintain a decent level of finish work when doing refurb work on their own. Anything from installing a new bathroom or kitchen will require making good and finish work plastering. Sometimes it's not always possible to get a skilled plasterer in the time needed and also there is the cost of paying a decent plasterer. Then we have the (DIY person) who wishes to do their own on their own house (this is me). I have been on many courses learning the basics of every trade so that whatever is in my house was done by me. I was in the building Industry as a lead worker, did carpentry as my Dad was carpenter and kitchen installer for decades. Then we have the (New starter) who doesn't know where to start and has to sift through the thousands of How to videos on KZbin. I think we have to start grading the level for these videos so that we don't get pros slagging them off and we don't get learners forking out for equipment that they will only need once and end up stuffing it in the garage until it ends up at a boot sale.

[@_Rozgniatacz_mend]

use airless machine, much faster and not so messy

[@shaun2049]

It is very slow would be ok for none plasterers send a glass eye to sleep

[@tonyc1167]

so wait there, you've gotta mix the multi finish up then pour it in the machine to spray on, which takes 20 minutes to do 2 bags? and look at the mess its creating. then 15 minutes to clean up after? and you have to lug all this around with you. this is to much faff on, supposed to make the job easier not harder!

It's just not practical to cart that big machine around, and it would be a pain to clean after every use
