I know mate just want a 2nd opinion that's all

 

[cassie]

it will help you , the flexibility helps get it flat from start ,straight out of box

honest question and Ive ordered one.. but... hows this different to a finishing trowel.. after all its a trowel.. same thing innit ??

 

[cassie]

It could have been u

got a call from Refina today, they said my trowel is on its way, and they didnt send the one they had left, because it was shagged and they wanted me to have the new one, so they sold it to some irish bloke...lol... apparently my one has gold rivets and is the dogs bollox...

it closes gear in quicker, looks flatter get it finished quicker ,as for why I don't know but if you use it open troweled it will bend there delicate, its flexible , use it closed trowel ,and get over it while its still green, you may like it you may not, but for multi/board finish its the nuts

 

[cassie]

so its for flattening down as opposed to applying gear ??

my choice is to trowel gear up with it, I have used it for applying and that works too, it will last longer if you use it for trowelling up, there delicate as I have found out ,but to me they are worth it ,have fun lol you will think wats this it wont do naff all but it works, give it a good go and definitely trowel gear up greener and very little water required =no fat marks water marks and equal setting time.

 

[Gibbo]

How much are they

 

[Jace]

should be about 25 gibb.

 

[casplas]

p.s I don't think there much use on float and set . with pressure you apply you can bend them permanently

 

[Gibbo]

Ok i might try one

 

[Gibbo]

Float and set dont do that much these days

 

[casplas]

Float and set dont do that much these days

I don't think anybody do's that much anymore ,speed of drying out I guess or ease of d+d

 

[Gibbo]

I whish they brought it back better than 3 hits of skim least you can have a break

 

[cassie]

used the refina 16'' stainless finishing trowel today... very nice... have a go with the s*p*r*lex for trowelling up when it comes.. still cant see how the finish can be better tho..lol..

 

[Bum]

Is the s*p*r*lex good on a reskim

 

[cassie]

Is the s*p*r*lex good on a reskim

Dont know mate, havent used one yet.. supposed to be tho..

 

[leebo02]

Is the s*p*r*lex good on a reskim

YES , i use it for all my setting now

 

[DannyMac]

I saw one of these s*p*r*lex the other week very bendy steel blade are they any good

Bit too bendy IMO for putting on and flattening.
