Floating with speedskim?

[Mac82]

Was just wondering if anyone users their speedskims as a rule when floating?

 

[Builderboi]

Kind off tend to use the feather edge then hit it with the speed skim to flatten and close in the face then just a quick rub with the devil

Have done on a few smaller areas and worked ok.

 

[Mac82]

Nice one ,was just wondering weather to bother getting one or not.

 

[Fatarm]

Bin it?
Keep it its great?
Get a cavity closer?
Use the pole attachment?
It saves time?
No it doesnt?
Doubles your meterage?
Bollox?
Get an eze spat?
Its good on big areas?
You cant finish with it?
Theres a metal blade coming out for it,
It leaves lines?


Hope this helps:RpS_thumbup:

For floating i use a straight edge... I use it on boding if I am tight coating something...

 

[Mac82]

:RpS_thumbup: same as mate

 

[Gibbo]

I tend to use the straight edge properly and close in with that

 

[keithuk]

What ever:rolleyes)

 

[spunky]

what's the benefits of closing it in with a speed skim after you've ruled it?

 

[keithuk]

I fine it better to devil up that way Dave

 

[craigw]

**** knows spunky,I thought wood floats were for that ?
I use feather edge for roughing,A Darby for rendering and ,erm a stainless trowel for skimming.

Oops,Keith beat me to it :RpS_thumbsup:

Used the speedskim today when floating to hang my coat on.very useful.

 

[Danny]

Its good for doing a tight coat of bonding and then using over the top

 

[raggles]

I've used the speedskim on Bonding up to about 10mm thickness on dodgy old kitchen walls and worked fine yes you have to use it/check in 2 axis but you would do that with a straight edge anyway

Why just use your trowel.trying to justify this is b*ll***s.tried it and don't see the point of it.A cavity closer Will do the same job.

A cavity closure doesn't have the rigidity like a speedskim so would be useless. Used speedskim when iv bonded some artex out worked ok. Feather edge far superior tho!
