MORTAR STUCCO SPRAYER

MORTAR STUCCO PLASTER SPRAYER PUMP

   Hi I'm Jody Smith owner/artisan of Overlay Solutions, LLC based out of Summerville, SC. I wanted to create this video for my friend Nolan Scheid owner of Mortarsprayer.com. Here are more details from their website http://www.mortarsprayer.com/




  

Our stucco spraying tools are used to spray plaster, stucco, small scale shotcrete, papercrete, GFRC, earthen mixes and more. Stucco sprayers are used for traditional plastering and many alternative building methods. Stucco application with this hopper sprayer is efficient on traditional stucco, exterior stucco, straw bale, Earth bag, insulated panels, Surface Bonded Block and thin shell ferrocement. This mortar sprayer opens up the world of stucco application for small scale shotcrete, thinshell construction, LVSC (Low Velocity Sprayed Concrete) in structures like SCIPs (Structural Concrete Insulated Panels) and more. As a heavy texture sprayer, this tool is being used to spray popcorn texture using California Stucco. The range of this sprayer is from a heavy texture of 1/8″ up to 1″ thickness for structural layers.


The stucco sprayer (plaster sprayer) is useful on a scale from stucco repair to a complete exterior stucco coating. The result is often as fast or faster than using a stucco pump. This plaster sprayer will save you time and money up front especially compared to the high cost of a stucco pump. Spraying stucco with the stucco sprayer is also much easier than with a plaster pump. The Tirolessa USA sprayer costs less than the accessory package of a stucco pump. If your crew is less than 6 and you are not plastering every day, our stucco/plaster tool is the right choice.

Faster and easier than hand troweling!

Costs much less than a stucco pump!

Comes with two sizes of jets to match your compressor size!

Stucco Recipes with Steps for Applying Stucco

This stucco sprayer is a fast application tool. A two-bag mixer (also called a 6-cubic foot mixer) is the appropriate mixer to use. These mixers usually come with a 5- to 8-horsepower gasoline engine. Most stucco requires one cubic foot of cement (Portland cement, blended hydraulic cement, masonry cement, plastic cement, hydrated lime, fly ash etc…), three cubic feet of plaster sand (coarser than masonry sand), and from four to seven gallons of water.

Cement comes in 1 cubic foot bags. Masonry cement usually ranges from 70 to 78 pounds. Plastic or stucco cement usually is 80 or 94 pounds. Portland or blended hydraulic cement is usually 94 pounds. Some companies make “half-bags” of cement. A 47-pound bag of Portland cement is not a cubic foot, but a half cubic foot. Lime is usually packaged in 1.25 cubic foot bags which weigh 50 pounds.

Three cubic feet of loose, damp sand fill four 5-gallon buckets level full.

With the first batch of stucco to be mixed, you will not know the amount of water that will be required. If the stucco is made too wet, it is often easier to throw the batch away rather than to try to salvage it. Even though you have a two-bag mixer, your first batch should use one bag of cement. Fill one bucket with water to about 1.25 inches from the top (this is 5 gallons). Fill a second bucket half full (this is about 2.5 gallons).

•Clean out the mixer, including chipping off loose material.

•Lock the mixer drum in the upright position.

•Start the mixer, put it in gear, and speed the engine up to a very rapid idle.

•Add about 3.5 gallons of water from the fuller bucket. Insure that your helper does not refill the bucket as it is set down.

•Add 2 buckets of sand.

•Break the cement down into two buckets. Add one of the buckets slowly.

If the mix remains soupy, proceed with adding the remainder of the cement. If the mix becomes stiff, add additional water. After all of the water is added, the mix should have the consistency of toothpaste. Mix until there are no lumps remaining.

Add the remaining sand. As the sand is added, the mix will become stiffer. Add additional water as needed to maintain a mix that rolls freely off the mixer blades.

    

When the mix appears correct, take the mixer out of gear and reach into the mixer with a long-handled cup (if you are going to put your hand into the mixer with the mixer running and in neutral, please buy extra insurance before you do so) and obtain a sample. First test is to place the sample on a steel plastering trowel and then tip the trowel. If the mix slides off before the trowel is at a 40 degree angle, it is probably too wet. Second test is to apply stucco to the substrate that you are applying stucco to. If it sticks well, it is a good consistency. If it peels away when the trowel is removed, it is probably too wet or too dry. Adjust the water and retest.

Determine the amount of water that was used for the one-bag mix. In the future, add 75% of this amount of water to the mixer if making a 1-bag mix or 150% of that amount if making a 2-bag mix.

After the mixer is dumped, add the water for the next batch and let the mixer run for a few minutes. This keeps the stucco from hardening in the mixer.

The second and later batches are much easier to mix. Be sure and measure the sand and water for the next batch while the previous batch is mixing. With the mixer running:

Add 75% of the water needed.

Add half of the sand.

Add cement.

Add remaining sand and remaining water.
Mix for 4 minutes after all components are in the mixer.

People using the stucco should report to the mixing crew with recommendations for adjusting the water and the sand concentration. The Tirolessa USA Mortar Sprayer can keep up with a crew of four people mixing and wheel-barrowing so, be prepared!

SEACOAST CHURCH HOPE EPIDEMIC

Overlay Solutions, LLC hopes to help Seacoast Church spread the HOPE and create a Worldwide Epidemic and give the gifts of HOPE. Please visit the Seacoast Site to find out more and help in anyway possible to spread the word about this epidemic. "I would like to personally thank the entire Seacoast staff for giving my family such a wonderful place to worship. God Bless you all and may the New Year bring many blessings to all in need."

Jody Smith Owner/ Artisan of Overlay Solutions, LLC.

ABOUT:

The Hope Epidemic is the confident expectation that circumstances will have a positive outcome, spreading from person to person, community to community, nation to nation. We want you to catch the hope epidemic like a disease that consumes your soul. At Seacoast Church we are crazy enough to believe that God can use us to start an epidemic that will transform communities across the world.

The lack of clean drinking water steals the lives of 5,500 each day—that's more than war, natural disasters, AIDs or even hunger. It is a silent killer—one that quietly preys on the world's most marginalized and forgotten people. Today, 1 in 8 people in the world live without clean drinking water; that is about 1 billion people in the world. The lack of clean water and sanitation results in approximately 1.8 million children dying every year from water related diseases.

This year we have decided to stop the crisis and start a hope epidemic by asking you to partner with us in spreading the hope of clean and living water. We can creating a lasting change by investing time, people and resources to help solve the world's global water crisis.

But the Hope Epidemic is about more than helping solve the world's global water crisis; it is about truly spreading the gift of living water, the gift of hope, to our friends, co-workers and communities. It has been said that people can live 40 days without food, 3 days without water, but not a second without hope. Jesus cried out in John 7:37-38, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” You see, Jesus is our hope.

For the next several weeks and throughout 2010, Seacoast is going to give you tangible ways make a difference by giving the gift of hope through both clean and living water. But we want to encourage you to use these opportunities to spread hope to your friends, communities and world so that together we can create lasting change. Stop the Crisis. Spread Hope.

THE PROJECT:

We are partnering with Water Missions International to put water systems and wells in developing countries that Seacoast already works in. We will also be sending teams of people to help assist in getting the water systems and well's in place, and we will be using your resources to help make it happen.

One of those countries is Togo, Africa. Located in the West Africa close to Ghana and Nigeria, Togo is "poor agricultural country witha dismal human-rights record." (National Geographic Online.) We have been partnering with missionaries in Togo since 2000 and this year our medical mission team was able to do water testing at several potential sites. We have meet with the Minister of Health to discuss possiblities and the government in Togo is embracing our plan and is eager to work with us and Water Missions International to bring clean water to their communities.

We are also working with Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago and Water Missions International to get a water system up and running in Mbita, Kenya. Where Christ Gift Acacemy, a school for AIDs orphans that Seacoast helped start and continually supports, is located.

These are just two of the locations where that your time & resources will help bring a last changing.
