now that i know pinkpaving's patented plastering sand jollop works through the pointing gun ,i need to be able to sieve the plastering sand
the sand we buy has odd particles of grit which block the nozzle > 3mm
what size would the brew cabin reccomend?
and where to buy?
I found these but they seem pricey
any ideas?

LLL - they're calibrated sieves we use in the laboratory for determining the particle size distribution (grading) of sand and stone - hence the price. Suggest you try garden centres or landscaping suppliers. BTW we always sieve sand when it's oven dried and with the use of a mechanical sieve shaker. Hand sieving wet sand is a PITA.
