twitchers angles nosers

[plasterjfe]

I own a twitcher with a stainless blade with slight flex to it but i am on the look out for other twitchers for such things as bullnose corners etc - anyone recommend a brand and how do you lot form your bullnose externals (two coat work obviously) Anyone use a polythene bag for finishing your skim on bullnoses or curves?

 

[spunky]

try doing them free hand and use a dry sponge to tidy them up

 

[plasterjfe]

i been doin em free hand but was after something different to see if it was better or quicker

 

[roughas]

i usaully form with a brush (make the brush into a v-shape sort of thing)and finish with polythene

 

[spunky]

bags can drag it and make it look uneven imo

Especially if you forget to take your shopping out of it first

in that case you need a bit of guttering mate.

You've been reading that book again haven't you Kirk?

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]

if you use the tool for them you can bed them up first pretty straight and fine tune them when finish skimming they are good but beads rock
