Good news Slim, your normal, you can pass as a Canuck:thumbup:

Phew! I was really worried there for a second. :whistling2:

 

[2buckcanuck]

Jeez 2buck - you are really bored - get a job. Starting to worry about you

I am bored, no work till Thursday or so, But I did get to see my grandson play Hockey for the first time:thumbup:

So this is for you Mudshark, Canada's next Wayne Gretzky.......well,maybe the next Kenny Linesman, aka "the rat":whistling2:

He's #6, likes to mouth the other players off, and whack and push them around, and his silly father gives him heck for that

But really, their so comical to watch at that age (4 and 5), if anyone can watch a tykes game, go watch, you will laugh your arse off, like I did, we lost 24 to 0.

Maybe this Video will be worth a lot of money one day

 

[Mudshark]

He is more like Stan Makita with the stick in his opponents face. :thumbsup:

Do you have a slavic accent? I can just imagine it....

Yess body, eet iss joke compare to year mahnster. Byut, I do nut haff dat amount spray werk.

I'm not trying to be rude or prejudiced, I'm just curious if my imagination matches reality on this one.




Alright then everyone, carry on with your texture spraying whizgigs and what-not....

Your "imagination" work against you:thumbup:

I loved the Apla Tech spray rig we had back in 99', not sure if it was a custom job by one of our guys or not,but it had the whole setup on a truck platform cart with a small table with compressor underneath. Cant find anything simular online... so it might have been custom.

Anyways, learned to spray with it, blow-and-go, this thing was a monster. I could shot 18' high with good results. We rented one of the graco's for a gym we did at Camp Penalton last year, I think my Dewalt Emglo and Wallboard hopper sprays faster :blink:

This one.....old school, but I love it!

Well, apparently my drag and paste isn't working. It's the Graco Professional.

I used to be able to spray a whole house no problem with a hopper like that. Now 2 rooms and I'm like BREAK.

Yes lids can get tough,I find not filling up so full makes a difference in tiring. I still swear by the hopper and good compressor :thumbup: hard to beat

 

[Philma Crevices]

Another thing I like for lids is to have a rubber pipe coupler between hopper and gun, great for babying your shoulder as needed

 

[Philma Crevices]

Or you could always do this http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPRAY-TEX-P...3286.m7&_trkparms=algo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=6036474779457407706

LMAO

Yeah, I tried the rubber coupler rig.......not for me. It seemed like I was about to lose the mud and tended to use both hands more. It really tired me out. With the one above, I spray the whole house with no problems. The trigger is comfortable and it comes with 4 nozzle sizes. I only use two. The mid for most orange peels and some light knockdown and one that I drilled out for regular knockdown. Being 49 I get a little tired but not like with the old style hoppers...Goldblatt.

 

[Philma Crevices]

Ill take that as a compliment:thumbup: after dumping box in bucket fil rest of bucket with water[dont fill completely unless you want to make a mess]then mix . bucket should be as full as you can get it real soupythere now you know how Imix .lso I dont fill hopper completely up my arms arent that big and once again can get real messy justa lil over half you can spray faster and more effectively. there was approx. 4500 feet on 10 foot lids and rest were walls some t bar also so lots of walls only. Have used practically all portables and they all SUCK maybe if I went and bought the newest best model it may last 2 or 3 jobs before problems arise . never have problem with hopper and second to smallest tip is what i use. P.S. my orangepeel looks like a real oranges peel...if that makes any sense:whistling2:

Old post, but this is exactly how I mix and spray :thumbsup:
Only thing you gotta be careful of when using such thin mud is if you slightly overtexture an area good chance of a bubbly look. Sprays fast as all hell as far as hoppers are concerned though, I had a graco on one job(not sure design number) and I was moving half speed compared

Kodiak Spray Rig Set-Up

I have a new Kodiak M2 with two complete hose sets (1 drywall/1 plaster) that I am looking to sell, It's a steal at $2,500.00 if anyone is looking for one. I also have the complete set of the AST texture tips and gun that are included for this price.

 

[Mrdrywall]

My rig

I have a 200 hd spray king split tank.100/100 one side set for knockdown the other side I have set up for knockdown,level 5 finish,and orange peel. I also have a graco 230 mounted to the toung of trailer . and the pickup tube is mounted to my pump flush out on second side . This works well for me when spraying any thing over 4 stories high. The 1/2 inch hose and piston pump on the graco makes life easer. Also when doing popcorn removal I use it to spray a thinned down mud mix on ceilings instead of water. And I have found I have less mess and less paint pealing when tape and visqueen are taken down. Will post pics if anyone cares!

 

[Tim0282]

I care! :thumbsup: Love pictures!

I spray texture every day if you want to be able to match what the big rigs do. With portability thickness and ease of use. Hands down the kodiak sprayer.
