will my trowel be ok??

[lucius]

Just buy a new trowel mate,Gibbo is right there is no difference in the finish with a new one or a worn one just use the old one on some sand and cement work or screeding and it will come back to how it was before the bloke ground it.

 

[DannyMac]

Gibbo is right there is no difference in the finish with a new one or a worn one

Massively disagree

 

[Gibbo]

Thats cause you aint got a danny

 

[nickelarse]

if u get a nick in ur trowel, tiny bit of sand paper on it, carry on troweling.

magic!!

[Arti]

dont make the old man even more grumpy ffs!!

is that possible..............:RpS_unsure:

 

[beddy]

Hes not grumpy. Just misunderstood

 

[Arti]

I dont remember a dwarf called misunderstood........:RpS_unsure:

 

[nickelarse]

funny u should say that. hes only 5ft tall

 

[beddy]

He can't be shorter than me

 

[nickelarse]

He is seriously. Like a little umpa lumpa

 

[beddy]

That would explain the short man complex

 

[Gibbo]

**** off nick i am 5.9

 

[nickelarse]

Yeah on ur stilts maybe

 

[beddy]

Gibbo in his bib and brace

 

[Fatarm]

That's must be fake? Surely he doesn't have green hair.:RpS_unsure:

 

[beddy]

Health and safety. Green wigs stop dust getting in your hair

 

[Arti]

looks like he's got beadle hands. no wonder he doesnt like the speedskim, probably cos its too heavy

 

[lucius]

He is coming to get you

 

[beddy]

Hes gonna be so happy when he sees it

 

[Arti]

well its not like he aint got a sense of humour.........................is it...............:RpS_unsure:

 

[Gibbo]

Love it thats an old photo i am a bit gryer on top now

 

[kebab king]

I have been using a brand new Marshaltown Carbon steel, and must say its working fine.

 

[Gibbo]

Yes jj same here

 

[Arti]

what are they like to break in?. are you just using them for laying on or for the whole process to break them in?

 

[Gibbo]

For the whole process mate its the metal against metal on your handboard that gets it going

 

[Arti]

Roger...............:RpS_thumbup:

 

[nickelarse]

Just round the corners. They take about a weeks skimming to sharpen up

 

[kebab king]

All my other trowels are S/Steel, i worked this one as a freebie from a a certain pain in the arse supplier that hastles u for beads. I just took it out the box thinking it will be ok for laying on and have been using it for about 3 weeks now.

Must say, i`m quite impressed with the carbon steel.

 

[bubbles65]

Carbon has a better bite than S/S :RpS_thumbup:

 

[Arti]

im defo gonna give a carbon a blast..................:RpS_biggrin:

 

[nickelarse]

steel are far better trowels. i dont know why people use stainless, apart from rust, which isnt a problem

 

[kebab king]

I just give it a quick Blast of WD 40, only cos it makes the Van smell nice, unlike my farts on the way home.

 

[beddy]

Ive got both and while I prefer using the steel to trowel up I use a stainless to put on with as the steel is quite thin.

 

[nickelarse]

yeah but ur a nob
