I've been using the Nela Plasticflex and I find it so much better, easier to use, less effort and keeps it nice and flat as you go. Of course this is only my opinion.
Do u use it to put the second coat on or just use it to finish off?

I use it to put the second coat on mate, gear goes on better and flatter.
If be doing that and if notice u don't need much water and finish is better do u find that?

In my opinion as it keeps it flatter when applying second coat you don't have to lay it down so much and yes better finish for sure.
Do u use much water i think less water better finish ?

Totally agree, I know people who only use it to lay down the 2nd coat with it, people who put 2nd coat on with it and people who like yourself Danny use it for the final sweeps. Everyone works different and find different ways that works for them. It's all about trial and error really. Like Danny said he uses it for final sweeps and I use it to second coat, I find that works best for me but then maybe different for you carys.
I used it scond coat trowel it once whith a bit of water give it a dry trowel evrybody got difrent ways and at the end of the day it all about timing

Again all down to personal preference and what works for you. I personally use a 16" but I find that works for me this may not be the case for others

I did that trying mine out in a cottage. Looked fecking great until the currant bun came in a side window the next morning and shone straight along it.
Holy smokes I had to cover that up quick before the customer arrived at the job.

Right take from me plastic is fantastic whichever make it is , here is perfect example from one of the best plasterers in how to flatten and finish with plastic, although he only puts on with steel

I always respect the elder more experienced members views on here but am gonna respectfully disagree, there has been a lot of comments on here saying plastic can't get a finish and all the when painted comments etc is a load of rubbish tbh
