Hate to break this to you but it's the man.
If your struggling pop down here and ill show you how to finish with one properly.
I'll leave a finish with a s*p*r*lex looking like it grew on the wall so clearly my trowel isn't defective.

Is it electric?? ;) i have a gas one and a petrol stove as no f**k**g about running leads to the van. Saying that i do have a microwave very handy for warming stuff up quick.(y) i alsohave one of the george formby grills with attached hotplate on the side of it but again its electric. I only bother with the stoves to do a fry up from scratch.

Tbf marshy I did it a few times as I'm on a fone and wen slide up n down sum times it selects it without knowing but id change it if spotted it..
 
I've got the refina and the nela. Used them both can't get on with either I still try to this day. But they get slug back in the buck after 2 mintues. I can't say it's the trowel after you see @scottie5 work. And I don't want to says it's the man because I don't think I'm a crap spread.

Maybe a day with @scottie5 and they trowels will become amazing.

when its cold and damp with no form of suction at all You just need to keep the water off it so it doesn't ripple or look sh1t when painted.
2 or 3 passes with the speedskim then once it's firmed right up and still flat and ripple free, use a slighty damp microfibre cloth to wipe the blade of the s*p*r*lex every few strokes no water on the trowel or wall it'll be mint.
If the skimming is on excessively thick give it an extra pass with the speedskim just keep the blade clean and slightly damp.

Tiger stripes are normally caused by: timing, angle of the trowel or material amongst other things. It's not normally the trowel that's the cause of tiger stripes.

They have been around for a long time

It is the trowel if its outa shape....
Or a draft hitting the wall
Or wrong pressure at the wrong time
Or playing with it too much
Or if skims on too heavy
....all of these facts come down to the fella holding the trowel ....no matter what trowel it is.
 
If it helps
I slap her arse with a supaflex
And cut my powder up into big hits with a speedskim
.....probably why im always skint !!
