iv been using it on reskimming artex this week. i just cant get the finnish i like with it and find myself giving it a final going over with my mt.
I might change my mind next week as ill be going over boards.
As for the speedskim i effing love that thing :RpS_thumbsup:

I blitz over the wall with a spat the next day or last thing if its a morning hit. 1800 speedskim fs is awesome for this.

People really have to get their heads around the different timings for using speed skims spats and plazi.

If you hit it at the same times you would a normal trowel they don't work. It would be pointless as well as your saving no time

Never tried one, never felt the need too.

Just remembered I have used a plastic regina trowel while fecking about with some spray finish at BG. :RpS_unsure:

are you finishing your sets quicker?

 

[jeanclaudevangyproc]

Yes jessop knock around 30mins off a set if you catch it right I noticed a big diff around this time last year in cold weather not having to use water to trowel I was well away on my second set when other spreads were still waiting to second trowel

 

[leebo02]

[jesssop]

[jeanclaudevangyproc]

If I got one as a freebie, I would try it out, however after 30 years of managing great with the steel, why bother even trying them ?? and I have tried out the speedskim by the way... which i bought..lol
