Any tips on how you got the tape lines so straight and even ?

@AlexBuilds-it 2 ай бұрын

absolutely! To get the tape lines straight, you first have to get the shot blasting straight. In order to do that, I'd recommend using a laser guide which you can pick up here: roadlines.co.uk/collections/frontpage/products/shot-blaster-laser-guide-system-with-battery Once you have your straight shot blast lines, my recommendation is to pull the tape in by hand. He's a link to a video showing you how to do it from one of our training courses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmK5kKevpKp3jrcsi=KfKr0oLtHSEUuc62

Hi How thick is the line or roller? 75mm?

@AlexBuilds-it 3 ай бұрын

We always go for 100mm lines. The primary reasons being: 1. The shot blasters use plates that reduce the opening from 300mm to 100mm and also 300mm to 50mm. 2. The paint roller heads come in 100mm as standard. You could probably get a plate made for 75mm fairly easily but it likely wouldn’t be off the shelf. It does raise an interesting point though; would the line be any less prevalent at 75mm? And would it save you 25% on materials?

Is there a difference in hand painting nad using a line marking mqchine on how long the paint will last? Also if doing car park lines cqn they be done without shot blasting and how long will they last. Thanks

Great question thanks. I'll break it down in to a few parts: Indoor marking: This really depends on the product; for the solvent paint used here, I find that I get a better finish when hand applying it. Arguably it's slower and in order to get extra durability, I paint 2 coats. I think it really comes down to preference and every time I've sprayed indoors, its only lasted a few months, hence, I always hand apply. Shot blasting is a must, nothing will last unless you prep the floor. The best product to use would be a 2 part epoxy resin (www.swarco.com/products/road-markings/swarco-safety-line/swarcocryl-2-c-indoor) or an ultraviolet curable paint such as RapidShield (rapidshield.com/). These are 2 manufacturers I use. The one in this video is made by Veluvine and is a product called Marqualit. www.aximum.com/industrie/veluvine For car park lines: I would say hand applied MMA is your best product to use and you can purchase a hand mould for less than £40 and get started. You don't need a machine to start laying lines. The downside of course, is that although the hand mould is cheap, the MMA paint is triple the price. I personally use PPG or Geveko for MMA www.geveko-markings.com/products/paints-plural-components/plural-components If you want to spray (it's a lot quicker) you can buy a sprayable MMA such as the Veluvine Rossignol MMA or you can use the solvent system used in this video. In the US nearly everyone uses water based or acrylic - They're fine, but not as good as MMA. Preparation outside: For tarmac car parks, you need to ensure there is no organic matter, dirt etc. on the ground and make sure the area is dry. Ideally you would dry every line even when it looks dry as concrete holds moisture really well. I also ask my customers to pressure wash the area a few days before as removes all the silt etc that will reduce the paint longevity. For concrete, always grind or shot blast outside. Concrete is a nightmare to get anything to stick to but its cheap so builders use it everywhere. You may also want to use a primer on concrete to get it to stick.

@@redditor7548 Epoxy is the same process to apply as acrylic and yes, it is very good. It costs a bit more (15% perhaps) and we typically use Lineway UK for our Epoxy. As with Acrylic, I always hand apply it, but that does make me wonder, can epoxy be sprayed at all!? I guess that will have to be another video we make!

Do you have to shot blast the concrete? I have a customer that don't want to spend that much and only has about 300 feet to do in his warehouse. He just wants the current concrete painted. Will it just not last as long as the shot blasted and sealed?

@AlexBuilds-it 10 ай бұрын

Great question and Yes, to answer your question. I have painted a few floors before in rented warehouses where the customer didn't want to shot blast because they were worried that when they handed the warehouse back, they would be charged by the landlord or where they simply didn’t have the budget. In every case I have painted without shot blasting, the lines have failed in month if not weeks and the customer always wants you back in at your cost to put it right, no matter how many times you explained it to them. Shot blast or grind every single time and walk away from the job if the customer says no! It will only reflect badly on you and your business otherwise

What kind of paint is this?

@AlexBuilds-it 10 ай бұрын

This is a single part system called Geveko HS and we apply it in 2 coats followed by a Matt sealer. It is a solvent based product with a strong smell so keep the doors open and the area well ventilated. It will dry quickly but the smell does linger for a few hours!
