Floating hardwall

[user__removed]

Would much rather float and set these days as I can get more money for it and prefer not to have the hassle of loading boards out and then tripping over off cuts all day. Imo sticking walls is more hassle.

Sand and cement and skim is a far better job and finish and a lot cheaper on materials.
It's a no brainer

Have you used the diamond float yet or did you return it?

And some washing liquid

I've always used fabric softener. Does what it says, lovely soft touch finish!! Lol

I don't be joking when I say I use it. I do it makes it a lot easier on the arms.

I love a massive hardwall job for the winter.

Of the sizes I saw at time of purchase I couldn't see one that seemed reasonable, I.e. Similar size to my polyurethane one, ended up with the 'standard' that to me at least seems a little square. Would like one a bit longer but the longer one seemed a bit narrow????

I think the longer one is better it makes the job flatter. The wider one is good for reveals.

They are very flimsy though, as I said mine was bent but the slightest pressure on it can bend it the other way, I'd say if you were on something a bit late they would ride over any bumps at all rather than cut them off.
Just a presumption though

Maybe it was bad luck getting a bent one. Never had that problem.
