Hopper Sprayers - A great tool to plaster SCIPs

There are several ways to plaster SCIP panels with a concrete/mortar mix. Hand troweling is a viable option where labor is extremely affordable. BlastCrete mortar pumps are expensive, but a great option for large scale operations. However, for most do-it-yourself projects including up to building your own house, I would recommend a hopper/stucco/mortar sprayer. One sprayer in particular is a mortar sprayer developed by Nolan Scheid. Nolan has been spraying mortar for over 15 years and has used his expertise to develop a hopper sprayer that is easy to use and very forgiving. It requires a 5HP air compressor (7-12 CFM at 90 PSI) and a mortar mixer to prepare the mix. We plan to offer these hoppers in the BuildFast store, but for now you can buy them at How to Stucco.
