hi i jus bought a new 14" plaziflex and was wondering if anyone uses it to put on ? everyone seems to talk about troweling up with it but no mention of what its like for putting on ? i usually use board finish :RpS_confused:
 
Hey Kirk.

You'll probably find that taking the gear off your handboard/hawk will scratch the plazzi to fcuk.
 
Is that what it is? Dry wall? That finish must be near half inch thick, the place looks very dark too? Need some light in there, why not use a bead above the door? Was there any surface prep to the artex before applying the plaster???
 
Plaster needed to be thicker because of the artex being deep in places and uneven walls.

down to personal choice with the drywall, you can bond it too.

couldnt use bead because of the bullnoses, besides there was nothing straight in the job to bead and everything was done freehand due tot he nature of the walls.

Didnt need surface prep because the artex was thick which was the key to it
 
You can't just chuck a half inch of finish on an unprepped wall and expect it to stay on for any length of time. :RpS_lol:

Your plastic trowel will put bonding on too.

Funny as feck:RpS_laugh:

It never ceases to amaze me the crap people will put on youtube thinking they're good at what they're doing.
 
so you diddnt use pva or wba or anything before you plasterd half inch of skim, and why diddnt you float over the artex before skimming?
 
What in the holy **** balls mother of moses peter and ******* paul was that video about lol. I havent seen someone play a game of hide the light switch in ages. Nevermind floating with skim or using dab on what looks like timber. My favourite bit was the old shoe holding up the dust sheet lol

That wasn't an old shoe Steve, couldn't you tell that fella was hopping by his trowel action?

Come to think of it was that a Prada shoe? Have I rumbled what Owls gets upto on the weekend?
 
hahaha:RpS_lol: well that lasted long diddnt even put up a fight trying to explain himself
 
But that's not fair lots of people would have liked to have watched that. Personally I was looking forward to part II where the light switches suddenly appeared again, just after there was a dull thud on the floor.
 
Yep vids gone??? Booooooooo, indefensible really! He said he was going to post more too, unbelievable what cants are gettin away with? Did you's watch both vids?
 
He didn't delete this though

Just for you steve :RpS_laugh:

Not really, there just been changed to private. The whole point of those videos were to show a few people who have been asking questions on these forums for example putting on, or when some people only use for finishing or second coating. Remember when people didn't think you can use them on SnC, but another guy - Oasis i believe had put a video on here showing it in use and liked it, this was the intent, but he has removed it from Youtube.

I seem to recall you, beddy using these trowels - Fair enough they won't be to everyones liking. But there are others who do like them. As for DannyMac -You seem to have purchased a trowel in march from handtools and wrote on these forums about liking it but wondered about sharpeing / sanding down, using a steel to lay on. The second video demonstrates using without any steel, and you can see in the end there is a picture showing the polish of the chimney breast.

Again, beddy and essexboy were conflicting each other about "whos the best" in the forums under "ultimate plastic trowels" thats got 5k views, hot topic and some good feedback.

From the criticism on today's post doesn't look like no one wanted to view the videos, and there where more to come. If anyone does what to see them then please inbox me and i can send the invitation via youtube email. Or any general questions.

At the end of the day, Ill go head to head with anyone on there steel.
 
I have used them . They have their uses. I have no arguement about that. I was laughing at you not your trowel.
