Do you do replacement speedskim blades? As my 1200 has worped don't really know why maybe because it was left in the sun??

We do indeed mate

 

[Jace]

So is there a real problem with the carbon steel they've used?

What would cause them to rust so quickly? Not enough carbon in or maybe just poor quality steel?

proberly bought there steel from petersteelstrip:RpS_lol:

[Arti]

sounds like pricey pish

 

[johniosaif]

Too expensive given its short life span, we guinea pigged it and it was an expensive lesson, it is good but has big failings

@SpankySouthport plastic end caps have little buttons just on the back edge of the metal frame just unclip and slide the blade out

Keep throwing it at a wall until the blade comes out. Put the new one back in the same way

Picking one up in the morning, I'm interested to see how fast it rusts.

i got myself the big ox trowel today, and ive never used one like that. Chucked my first coat on, then flattened it with this big trowel. perfect. Laid it up, then gave my first trowel with the new one, and i'm now converted. soon as its sharp enough ill use it all the time.

 

[Jace]

what size did you get hudd??

Very quickly I'd imagine as every carbon steel trowel I've ever had has done.

I recon its rising damp.................the damp rising up out of the plaster your using or the wet brush your cleaning it with............................carbon steel HEY who would of guessed it rusted when it came into contact with water xx</p>

Your so damp negative flynnymarra...................:RpS_thumbdn:

 

[huddsspread]

what size did you get hudd??

457mm long....or 18" in english. I've always used 15", and got this big one for flattening. I think i've become lazy in flattening, by not doing it. So as i said yesterday, as soon as i'd first coating, i left it 5 minutes, and has a go with this big trowel. I think its brilliant. I tried using it this morning to chuck a wall on, it was fine, but my arm started to ache a bit, probably from more multi on the trowel than normal. I'm converted to using a big trowel for flattening though. And its a nice trowel too. It was £37 from the place i got it from.
