Marshalltown Petmaflex (gold)

[themanaction]

Hi, just after some advice on my new trowel.
Been plastering about 6 months and my cheap ebay trowel was buckled so decided to invest in a marshalltown duraflex gold.
The trowel was quite straight when i bought it apart from the bevelled edges. After doin a few sets its like a canoe. Is this just the trowel wearing in or has it not kept its shape as it guaranteed??

what you mean like a canoe ?? can you sit in it and go down a river ??

rugbymad would mention don't buy anything tool wise without seeing it first, if this is youre trade of choice, you may remember these tools will be in youre hands for a long time, if you are working with others ask there opinion, dont be shy to seek advice, perhaps when in the trade for a wee while longer you may get to know what suits you, enjoy what you do ,cheers rugbymad
