Feather Edge

[essexandy]

I've always used the flat side of the featheredge facing the wall or ceiling.

Bevelled side up . When I lived in Devon them dumplings used it the other way y for some strange reason . They'd never used daddy's like us northern proper tradesmen. Ha ha

Have you ever tried ruling off/in with a square edged rule?
Before aluminium rules were used it was normal practice to use a piece of skirting or featheredge timber.
When I used to do sand and cement floating I was very fussy about the type of aluminium featheredge I'd buy, only using those with a nice sharp edge. They were far better.

Are we? Explain yourself you young scamp.

 

[Topspread16]

I’ve always filled them with expanding foam, so they sound better when you bounce them off the young guns head for not having a mix ready.

Doesn’t seem to be a consensus of which way up it’s used.

Yes there is, there's the right way (flat facing the surface) and the wrong the way (as used by all the dopey c**ts).
Hope that's cleared that up for you pup?

I’ve already mentioned the bevel which I’ve scientificulty proven

 

[FreeD]

The bevel is surely just the way the feather edge has been designed for handling. What f**king tool would use it other than flat side ruling off?

In hundreds of years time people will look back and marvel at the genius on this thread in much the same way we look at Michaelangelo's David.
