skimming

[daz1968]

when dry trowelling and wet trowelling how flat do you keep trowel to wall ???

the later on in the set the more of an angle you have the trowel, ie close for spreading out for polishing! if that's wrong then the last 7 odd years have been a mistake lol

As oasis would say....Ganna keep it simple, same angle as you lay it on with. All comes with together with experience.

self taught for six years been ok at it plastering just looking for more tips . i know i should know about how to trowel a wall just want to make sure i am doing it right. it s amzing because i was self taught the tips given on here i basicly used them when learning without giving it a thought for example when i plastered my first few walls and looked at them when dry i new there was something missing or not right ie wet trowel for less friction and timing the plaster just right which i didnot know so i had to ask and then used this information for my next job and it worked a treat .

I think you'll find 14.5 degrees works considerably better

Yeah sorry you're Simply, I just checked my protractor and it's worn from regularly checking my trowel angle.
