i dnt think it goes off quicker mate but you can get the second coat on straight away and if you use it to flatten second in aswell ive found you have just enough time to finish a quick smoke and it will be ready for a trowel.
takes alot of the donkey work out of flattening in though i like mine, give them a shot and see what you think

Hi mate - The just want to clarify the plaster doesn't go off any quicker but the reduction in particle vibration when using Speedskim mean you can get your second coat on straight away. It does speed up the overall process - with the potential to get more hits on if you want. After you have applied the Speedskim on the second coat the plaster sits really well so you can relax a bit more - take a breather. If you dont want to get more on and you just want a much easier day with less aches and pains that's what it gives you.
Plasterers need the right tools for the job and plastering techniques are slowly changing. We feel the vast majority of Plasterers are keen to accept change and like comfortable professional equipment to use.
The Speedskim is making life a far easier for many Plasterers - highest grade material go into the manufacture, specific for purpose with the correct combination of rigidity and flexibility for skim coat, backing plasters and renders.
Affordable to the Plasterer, efficient and versatile with extremely economical blade change. Comfortable by design, Universal pole attachment for ceilings.
Coming soon are new finishing blades for different applications and surface finishes - all completely compatible with existing handles.
So for anyone thinking of purchasing a lot of thought and design is going into the product range. At the same time all made in the Great Britain supporting British jobs :RpS_thumbup:
Hope this is helpful - if you need any info just give us a shout..

Hi Gibbo - I know you might not think it - but it is actually true. As the Speedskim blade passes over the plaster there is a reduction in particle vibration through sound - this results is a reduction of moisture brought to the surface of the plaster. This reduction in sound vibration is due to the softer blade material over steel.
To give other members an example its the same principle/effect when tamping concrete, the more you tamp it the more water comes to the surface due to the stones hitting each other. When using a steel trowel passing over the stones this is further exaggerated by sound.
Another example to demonstrate this in a practical application is passing a steel trowel over screed for final finish - anyone will know that the moisture can be purposely brought to the surface making it hard and smooth in appearance:RpS_thumbup:. Which is good in this instance/application. This is due to the material vibrating effecting the particles in the sharp sand/ cement.
We realise not everyone chooses to accept the concept and like a more traditional approach (we respect this) but the science is true. When flattening the plaster with Speedskim it enables you to get your second coat on straight away. In our opinion but more importantly based on customer feedback over the last 12 months the overall process can be made quicker and the game easier at the same time.

Whe hey that's fine - like i said you are entitled to your own opinion on the process and if you prefer more traditional methods there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
If others want to apply the science and benefit we think that's good and they should be allowed to :RpS_thumbup: otherwise it becomes a police state.
We've sold well over 2,000 units - its working for a lot of Plasterers so clearly i haven't lost it.
