OX speedskim semi flex leave lines

[Davidward]

Hi this is my first post, hope everyone is well.

Regarding the title of my post I tried my new semi flex speedskim yesterday but noticed when I tried flattening my first coat, it was leaving lines on each corner from the semi flex.

Has anyone had this problem before ? And how do I get around it ?.

Right...but if there is something that can make your job a bit easier then clearly it's worth giving it a try.

From the website it does say apply the plasiflex as as soon as the first coat is applied but I will wait a bit longer next time thanks.

Round the corners off mate. Keep as flat as possible and needs a light touch if gear is very wet.

Everyone has their own thoughts about it and I’m not going to tell granny how to suck eggs when it comes to plastering, I just think it’s a good bit of kit...especially on ceilings.
