well got her out to day, what can i say OK

laying on . rubbish to much flex and not enuf spread? maybe i need more time on it

polishing up ... wow how quick and easy was that! may be a problem but it gave an instance polished look!

this is going to save alot of time polishing up as it is so easy quick .. no water and its a simple job any one can do!

this was on an over skim lath ceiling im working on boards all next week ill let you know how it goes.

[bodplasterer]

to be fair i did a bugger of a ceiling to day .. old lath all the time skim was taken of so just the backing coat on lath.. we all know this pulls in supper fast.. we did week pva scrim then PVA/bondit mix then by the time i had layed on first coat it was nearly to hard to flatten! i tried laying on top coat with the plastic but gave up as i was in a rush i just used it on finial polish., worked well but i need more time on it!

[spunky]

were using the new s*p*r*lex skimming trowels with the oversized marshalltown hawk to lay on with ...maybe you could use these first then flatten with the plastic trowel?

 

[S a plastering]

look get it out of your head these trowels are not for putting on ive got one they are far too flexible normally used for final polishing if you feel like polishing i only really use mine for forming any gentle curves an such to get the shape

The plastic trowels are for giving the finish a polish the old 'wembley' finish stripes,

If you really want to see what the fuss is about rip a fire exit sign of a door from site (thin shiny flexi plastic ones) stick it tightly to an old trowel break the edge in and try it. much better than the one for sale cos of the plastic.

after a week you will think its all bulls1t and lob it away anyway
