No I throw on with my Marshall town or ox. Just keep the Flexi for finishing. Find I'm getting better results by using a longer blade. Have an 18" Nela and is the nuts

Also a 16" ox ultraflex which is finishing lovely, wish I'd gone 18" though

13" Marshalltown for me always used them but I did use ragni back in the day when I was apprentice I think there making a comeback in the plastering game

Yes bud, won't touch a set early with the ultra, it's too flex for me. The Medi or black can because they're stiffer 0.5 I think.

Same mate,

Medium flex or stiffer for me.
Mediflex, nela black or refina super 3

Kraft elite series extreme flex

Marshalltown for me
Although have the nela and trying to wear it it.
Although if it was for a few weeks only I'd buy on ox. More than fit for purpose for a short time and cheaper.

That didn't really help did it lol

Marshalltown xtralite if you need it broke in reasonably quick. Nice and lite trowel too. Normally go 13x5 with em, but 14 3/4 alright too

 

[jamesthefirst]

Carbon 14x5 to lay on, carbon 14x5 to flatten then a carbon 14x5 to cross finish little water as poss.
