| Well I can't answer for how others apply their material or the way in which the equipment is used. I think it would be a safe bet to say that part of what the training involves is how to use the equipment. You see with a rig like those guys usually have, there are very specific ways that the machines are used. They are usually high pressure machines that involve adjustments to the material output and so on, not to mention the use of an impingement gun that goes along with a high pressure machine. Of course there are a bunch of other, not as obvious things going on during the spray process with that sort of equipment as well. Does that mean that the difference between that sort of equipment and application process requires training and ours does not? No. Otherwise we wouldn't offer instructions and tech support. In order to do anything new or unfamiliar, one needs to learn how in a proper manner. What makes our system fit the realm of the do it yourselfer, is that it is affordable AND easy to learn how to do. That doesn't mean it's easy enough to neglect the instructions. I emphasized that a post or two ago.
It is our experience that a minimum of 50 mils of material is what it takes to thoroughly cover the geotextile we offer. Any less and you run the risk of pin holes and such which will lead to failure. So, you'd have to train yourself to not want to move onto another area of the geotextile fabric until you have covered the area you set out to spray.
If you are a DIY type of person and have patience, you can do this. It doesn't sound to me that you let many details, if any, slip through the cracks. I would be more than happy to send you more information, but I ask at this stage that you phone me Monday in order to speak a little further in those regards. You can get our phone number from our web site, which I am not allowed to post in threads. If you can't find it PM me and I'll get it to you. I look forward to speaking to you.
