Trowels fine, you're the problem.
Get him the 11 1/2in, it's slightly wider.

I doubt a trowel would chatter because it’s f**k*d, that’s possibly your shoulder?? Personally I don’t know how anyone could use a stainless trowel for skimming mate.

Get a carbon with a wooden handle. Far better mate.

To thin

Why not

It will bend out of shape after 20/30 jobs. Carbon wont.

Never had a carbon steel the thought of dealing with the rust and stuff puts me off or is it not too bad to get use to

It will be the same for years mate they don't move

Good price, forget that. Get a carbon. Imo

 

[essexandy]

Just get a Permashape and be done with it.
