I got a try of then mashalltown qlt slywalkers 1.0 from gumtree, took me ages to get the confidence to even try a pair think they are 6 year old? Theyre blue? Anyway im miles behind the new tools crack but i think theyre 5 years old, really like them though! Might look at getting a new pair myself

What model speedskim you got? 600 steel or plastic? Is 600 enough for bigger lids? Or if i was to get one speedskim to try would 1.2 be better? Also what plastic trowel you got lurpak can you send a link? And does it need worn in like my 2 ss mt's? same goes for a nelamax do they need worn in...

Yea think im gunna have a try of the 1.2 however a few lads on here been reccommending them 900mm refina spats are they any good?
