Yes and not too expensive either. with practise you can finish with the eze spat only need to trowel your angles

Yep I agree. I believe they are lighter than the eze spats. Not a clue on price difference mind?? would need the pole set up tho with it??

id probably be inclined to stick to the 600mm.

not really I just took a little round off the corners with some sandpaper .
if you find its leaving lines reduce the pressure your putting on the blade and keeping the angle shallow will also help.

I've the original eZe set up too the old pole attachment too not the new wing nut type. Still love it tho. I use them regular I find them a big help

i think the twin pack is about best value for money theres a 600 a 1200 and the pole attachment in it then all's needed is any screw thread decorators pole about 7 quid from screwfix is as good as any.
speedskim direct or p1SS.

My only "issue" I had with buying my eze spats was the fact Rhino didn't include a free plastering machine in the deal
I've used it on s/c, not so much as a rule, more to close in the surface prior to rubbing up, bit Darby like.

I have used it on mono but I am by no means a mono expert and was hand applying in two passes, with a wet'ish mix on the second pass. I thought it was ok.

personal preference marra I do others do not. try as is and if you think you need to put a radius on do it with your snips or rub them down with wet n dry

Used the speedskim today on a fan pattern artex ceiling. Honestly didn't rate it over my EZE spat - It was leaving 2 lines at each end of the blade (I'll sort the corners and try again) - I also do not like the angle it's at and the fact I can't change the angle. They say it's at the optimum angle...let me decide what's optimal as this clearly is not.
I found the "Optimal" angle was far too open and caused dragging - I manipulated the angle to more closed and it worked better but it just felt a bit clumsy compared to the EZE which I've set the angle at for my own comfort and convenience.
I'm not giving up on it but I might just use it for walls and use the EZE for ceilings.

Granty if you bend the corners back it will take the edge of the st slightly as the blade is new, which will slightly decrease the lines that you are getting, as the blade gets some wearing in the lines become less of a problem also if you carry on using it through your gauge the lines go as the gear fims up, maybe give it a few weeks to master technique,
like the trainers by the way
