Do you think thats to much or to little?.Putting finish on 3-4mm makes me unhappy. :RpS_mad:
Do you think thats to much or to little?.
Do you boys still give it 2 waters after flattening in after the sponge or just one and a dry trowel??
After I sponge and spat, I just need to plazzy over it and it's done.
so no water at all ??
Sorry, yes....water when sponging, then spat it all.
Then I go over with plazzy just wetting the blade.
can you put a vid up of you doing this
I may well do in the future....if only for mockery from the dinosaurs.
I will also explain:
I severely fell out with the trade a couple of years ago, to the point of packing up altogether. When things dried up for my other business I would have signed on if it weren't for the new enthusiasm I have...simply by using a different toolset.
I also know several colleagues who are suffering greatly with their joints, thanks to having to apply pressure day in day out with their marshy permashapes. Spats and plazzies mean MUCH less pressure = a longer working life for me!
Yep its different. No its not old skool, but it works for me.

Only rough arses would use a sponge to finish multi/board..bloody hell i know im new to this site and im an old fart but, when did spreads start using sponges on any skimming apart from leaving a pattern, whats wrong with just flattening with steel trowel or are we different in the north west of england?
A big learning curve I've had in the trade is when someone is opposed or doesn't like something it's usually something they can't do Cassie[/Q
what.. sponge multi up ?? why would I want to do that mate, Im a plasterer... not a rough ****...lol
Tell me how to do it then
