Sounds like your other half having a great time while you giving him a nosh

no no zolco, you've clearly not got your nosh giving technique down if you're having these side effects! If you're unclear just ask @theclemo on your weekend awaySounds like your other half having a great time while you giving him a nosh

Nice kit Vincey. Hope you like it. I haven't bought the plastic curry yet but I just nicked my nela so I'd be interested in hearing what you think of it.

Thanks for the link to curry I haven’t used either trowel yet but am fascinated that the plastic is riveted , interesting to that they only used every other rivet hole available on the trowel except at the toe end where there is 2 , will post up when I used them

Sweet mother of god I haven’ seen one go that black since first dipped the mt carbon, now I know some are gonna be saying wtf am I doing but here’s the thing each different carbon I had I have dipped before use and they all came out different, I ain’t no scientist but this is telling me the quality of the carbon used , darker the trowel the better the carbon, well that’s what I hope

Done the patina thing before and decided it was a waste of time, if you scrape the trowel clean the black comes off. I Keep it clean with sandpaper and dry it and if I’m really keen a spray of wd40.Sweet mother of god I haven’ seen one go that black since first dipped the mt carbon, now I know some are gonna be saying wtf am I doing but here’s the thing each different carbon I had I have dipped before use and they all came out different, I ain’t no scientist but this is telling me the quality of the carbon used , darker the trowel the better the carbon, well that’s what I hope

Last 3 then I’ll stop posting pictures and use the thing , when dry it was slightly lighter colour , on platina comparison it was in between the nela ( that was more snake skin grey first time ) and not as dark as the mt, so far mt wins the dipping contest but this ain’t bad at all , very close secondthat looks sooo good

@Vincey
Brings joy to my heart to see someone go through all that prep for their trowel. (Good to know someone else is my type of crazy)
I haven't used carbon steel trowels so I can't say if it will be the same but for the SS ones there is quite a break in period so be prepared and don't give up on it early. It does pay off.

Nela carbon I have used for a year or so now mate the nela is 13x4,3/4 , slightly wider blade on this curry (5inch), the nela is my go to trowel which replaced my mt carbon, the blade on the curry feels as firm and solid as the nela but the trowel as a whole held in my hand feels a lot lighter, I do like the handle shape of the curry just feels sweetDo you have nela carbon Vincey and how it is compared to this beauty? f**k me if I spend £60+ on used trowel! My name is not Vincey
