Re: PLASTIC SKIMMING TROWEL
Obviously sprayit you dont paint the plaster what youve applied otherwise you would understand the problems it causes by polishing the surface of top-finish . Try a metre square of of white matt emulsion on a surface normal troweled then the same again on the surface polished and see the difference the polished surface will look crap not only that the plastic trowel will wear and put drag marks in the wall.sprayit said:
Re: PLASTIC SKIMMING TROWEL
i didn't know it caused problems, is it much more shiny than say a wall that dried really quick on you ?
also is there a way of avoiding geting it too shiny, there must be a time when it is right to trowel with a plastic trowel.
keying the surface up is not a painters job then is it?

Re: PLASTIC SKIMMING TROWEL
I always thought the vsrious levels in T&J were
level 1 a fire jointed ceiling or so above a lay in grid to level 5 a seamless finish on a finished wall but i am willing to be corrected

Re: PLASTIC SKIMMING TROWEL
fire taped is just taped innit ie level 1
and level 5 is seamless finish that only requires colour or final, we have finished ceilings as level 5 finish after we have sprayed a self levelling thin coat plaster that dries like a paint and because they wouldn look any better with a final coat of matt they were left as finished.
im not going to correct you cos thats dirty, but you may look up descriptions of drywall finishing and then tell me im acunt for being wrong. i can take it and if im wrong i wont forget again

Re: PLASTIC SKIMMING TROWEL
so its, either create more work for the painters, and save time on plastering by about 1 hour (some one said on this forums) and make the painters have little more work by rubbing it down with a sack ?
or finish plastering up later and dont make the painters rub down? (which i would think painters would rub the surface before they start)

Re: PLASTIC SKIMMING TROWEL
I can only see shiny surfaces becomming a problem if site painters complain about 'these f'ckin plarstrers all using plastic trowels'...
if it gets to that stage and theres no other way round it, spend 20minutes at the end of the day with a hessian sack wrapped round a soft broom.. youre still quids in...
its gonna have to be put through its paces and feedback received from the blokes with one on the end of their arm every day, both site and domestic...

Re: PLASTIC SKIMMING TROWEL
you can use a plasterers mop over a finished shiny surface to matt the finish

ok i have read through this whole thread , and now I'm locking it , Sprayit intentions of starting this has nothing to do with advertising this product he has simply made us aware of it which i think is what the forums all about , looks like we have also had the owner/ inventor of this product telling us about his product and all its supposed advantages , which is again fair , but now we all know about it where to purchase it , anymore advertising of this product on this forum will have to be arranged with the forum owner ( Danny ) which i think is also fair .
Also i will remove this thread later once i feel everyone has had a chance to view it , which i think is ................. yeah you guessed it .
fair
