Speedskim or not you decide

[The Apprentice]

Well for all you people out there who have yet to decide on buying yourself a speedskim how long would it take you to skim a ceiling? Today I skimmed a ceiling, only 3.5 x 4m using the ST speedskims to flatten after the 1st and 2nd coat, let it pull in a bit then went over it with the SF speedskim and finished it off with a plaza, it took me 1hr 47 mins. The labourer told me because they had timed me. Food for thought and I'm sure that somebody on here will sell you one if they don't get on with the speedskim but you aint buying mine.

ST is the flattening blade and SF is the steel blade for closing in
