I've left mine on site , dead flat , do pic tomorrow and you can laugh at the buildup of muck lol
( same as my trowels )
I've been strictly ss all the way through ( no water apart from brushing angles ) I tell you Rich it's a game changer , I wouldn't use it if the end result was poorer quality
Trouble is I don't put more on , just do more coffee lol

I'm quite getting the bug for trying these different things , I've only got a 1200 and been on mainly overskim so it's a bit long to go with the flow to be fully effective but makes life simpler for sure. The odd new board work I've had it's a blessing.

Looks neater than when I've finished it with a trowel

Get the 900mm
 
zombie said:
For clarity what im trying to explain is forget sizes for a minute.

If all were 600mm for example then why would flattenig straight away with a s*p*r*lex be any different to a speedskim or spat in that there all blades with flex.

A speedskim is nothing near as flexible as a spat or s*p*r*lex trowel mate.

You recon?...see i would have thought the opposite!

I recon if i run a speedskim over a wet wall i would take less off rhan if i tried same with a spat or flexi trowel?

Are you confusing 'overkill' with 'do a decent job' again you slag? (read 'slag' in cockney accent)

Do you know what mate thats exactly what i find i think there better to just use right upto wet trowel or you undo what you did before.

But then i think ffs i only used to trowel the wall 3 times with a mt then go back in room once going dark for a dry trowel so felt like touching walls to much
