Lines in finishing trowel

[Harrygeorge15]

Anyone else had issues with lines in their finishing trowel? (Nela mediflex)
I thought it I'd put a few nicks in it but it's clear but still leaves feint lines when on final trowel.

Yes today I picked up a couple of nicks in a mediflex ——- I am using a diamond pad to sort .
I always have one in my briefcase -aka putz trowel case .

Wet and dry sponge pads work well


Not too aggressive on the fine edges.


Nice fine grit (higher number)

Not really had a bad tool from Nela

Original chrome trowels were good although a bit stiff in the beginning, then flexes and medi's both good

Their black ranges are a jump up again though, both the flexes and 'trowel' trowels.

Not got past MT for sticking it in though , got a Nela , but not the premium. Seemed too rigid, Maybe good with cement though.

The new black nela laying on trowel is less stiff than the originals, massive improvement


Between a normal marshalltown and the marshalltown duraflex. Nice bit of give in the blade.

Yeah go through them like wildfire mate. Best finish but one tap or loose screw there f**k*d. Try ox they take a bit more punishment. Try sanding with fine sandpaper or sharpening stone sometimes gets nicks out but needs wearing in afterwards before you can finish with it again. If you get a kink or bend just chuck it its f**k*d .

Another good one rub it against a thermalite block , snap one in half and rub it against the snapped edge .we used to do it on site that gets them good
