Always follow the material manufacturer's instructions
for the material being sprayed. Material must be
thoroughly mixed to a smooth consistency before
loading it in the hopper.
NOTE: For stucco base and base coats, it is
NOTE: NOTE:
recommended to use a standard 8 oz. x 4 in. steel
plumb bob (not provided) as a gauge for material
pumpability. With the tip of the plumb bob barely
touching the material, let the plumb bob drop into the
material. If the plumb bob sinks 3/4 of the way or
more, the material is a sufficient consistency.
Managing Material Material After After Mixing: Mixing:
Managing Managing Material After Mixing:
1. Pay close attention to the work life of the material
being used.
2. Only mix the material kits as needed. Do not let
mixed material sit longer than necessary.
3. Scrape material down the sides of the hopper as
the hopper material level lowers. Do not let older
material cure on the walls.
4. To ensure that all material in the hopper is used
while fresh, occasionally wait until the hopper is
almost empty before refilling.
