[Dirtybill]

Twitcher and switcher

 

[bubbles65]

Fk knows why you would ever need an external one though....... :huh:

 

[Dirtybill]

I used one when i was doing the alumasc on the render board wi the scrim, handy for the wrap round!

 

[flat boy skim]

Fk knows why you would ever need an external one though....... :huh:

i only ever use one on bullseyes

 

[Jace]

i use then when people dnt want beads or as ive had in the past where the corner meets the window board if you beaded it the new plaster would come past the face of the horn. but it does very rarely get used to be honest

 

[Plastermind]

NPS just keep using it fella it wears down I find bending it fuks it puts it outta shape also give the back side of it a sand down breaks in quicker

 

[flat boy skim]

the bloke who designed the super flex trowel is bringing out a super flex twitcher soon

 

[bubbles65]

If you're using the twitcher to fill the corner out use an old plastic float with one of the edges cut square and lightly sandpapered, works a treat :RpS_thumbup:

 

[s.p.t plastering]

i tend to use it on first coat second coat and every trowel that way you work up and down the angle not out of the angle much quicker and better angle

Same as mate....I love mine

 

[s.p.t plastering]

What's that 3 sided one or on refina??

 

[NPS]

why would you want a 3 sided one?

 

[DannyMac]

It's only needed after 2nd coat and after 1st flatten, then the brush does as good a job.

I thought this is what all decent spreads would do.

 

[DannyMac]

I thought this is what all decent spreads would do.

After every process, are you sure?

 

[Gibbo]

try it and forget the brush

 

[Gibbo]

i only ever use one on bullseyes

make a small one out of copper works nice on bullseyes

 

[flat boy skim]

make a small one out of copper works nice on bullseyes

copper what? pipe?

 

[Gibbo]

yeah just bash it flat then shape it like a small twitcher then put a bit of the round pipe on top for a handle

 

[DannyMac]

try it and forget the brush

I'm guessing you use one of those water sprayers?

 

[Gibbo]

No i dont but i wouldnt use a brush down an angle

 

[DannyMac]

Why not?

 

[bubbles65]

Danny.........It was always considered as bad practice to brush yer angles in. I was taught to use the twitcher with every pass, but I don't do nowadays :RpS_blushing:

 

[flat boy skim]

remember the old tyzak angle ridged ones lol thay still reckon that thay are the best

 

[DannyMac]

Why bad practice? my angles are immaculate.

I would consider flicking water at the wall bad practice, rather than brushing it on.

Each to their own I suppose. I've just always considered it a waste of time using the angle trowel once the wall is at the stage when water is introduced.

i brush water on ,but only second to last trowel and on last one i brush the trowel to stop it scratching the work ,whatever i will get the hang of it one day!
