Speed skim

[CeeVee]

Hi mate, I think you had the very first SF blades, which were a work in progress.
Opinions were mixed on the original SF and rightly so. A lot of development has taken place since then, the New SF has wider stainless steel tip 55mm x 0.3mm with 4mm radius ends - all buffed ready to use 'straight out of the box'.
As with ST range, SF blades have gasket seal and come complete with robust blade guard.
Flexibility across the width of the blade and crucially along the length mean the Plasterer is in control. Great on straight substrates as you would expect but also very forgiving on uneven backgrounds - so great for over-skims!
Hope thats helpful..

Hi Scott
Nice to see you still speak to us little guys now you've made it big!!

Looks good buddy, you finish with the sf also? Or give it a last sweep over with the trowel?

I get mixed up with st & sf! Don't know which is which!!!
Flatten twice with plastic (blue!)
And finish with the metal one.
Once it's on the only time I touch it is just to tidy the angles (once) just after first flatten

It doesn't wobble on the attachment, the pole shakes in my hands.
The 1200 seems to have a more general 'sweep' if that makes sense?
Maybe I'm putting too much pressure on with the 600.
Anyway i just use 600 in my hand on walls sometimes.
I'm delighted with the whole system, actually look forward to ceilings now, bigger the better!

Ok cool! Glad you like the system!

Giving the Plasterer options we are launching another range called the PF.
Having mastered the SF composite design (Ultra-Fine Stainless Tip), the New PF has Ultra-Fine ABS Tip for those that like to finish their work using plastic as the contact point rather than stainless steel, it will reduce harmful fatigue, and give you the finish you prefer!
The ABS tips are 55mm x 1mm with 4mm radius ends, buffed and ready to go!

Haha Still plugging away to be honest Craig...Optimistic though!

The units shouldn't wobble when using the Pole Attachment.
The Pole Attachment is glass filled nylon so very robust. We do recommend an aluminium thread when using as some plastic extension pole threads do wobble and do flex.
Having developed and improved all aspects we are underway with MK 2 Pole Attachment that gives more support, particularly with 1200 and even 1800 for ceilings! Will keep you guys updated when available..

I love my speedskims, there great, but the pole attachment is just not working for me, keep sliding on the speedskim whatever i do to them, so I'm thinking whacking a few screw through it to keep it in place

Hi mate, the existing Pole Attachment is pretty robust but we have seen an opportunity to improve the design. The environment is harsh and demanding as you know, so using day in and day out does take its toll on these types of accessory.
The New Pole Attachment is in the process of manufacture and will be available very soon. The objective of the new design is to offer more lateral support, and at the same time improve longevity. I'd hold off whacking screws in the aluminium!
In fact, when the product is ready I'll send you a new one FOC for a spin!

Duct taped it few months back and hasn't moved yet. I like moving the blade along though within the holder when up against the edge.
