Been using mine quite a bit happy with it just options really on final proses of troweling
Do you find on the last couple of trowels it closes the finish in too much had a bollokin of a decorated saying it was too shiny but I've not been going over that much
 
Just polish a trowel length right through the middle. Every time you pass that wall. Just that one bit is enough to keep me smiling all day

fuk decorator... if you can piss you can paint..
 
Brush-hands carry sandpaper, feck em.

Don't need to polish my walls as I use a s*p*r*lex. Unless I'm in one of those moods then I'll polish the feck out of it - might even give it a go with the plaggy. That shuts the moaning twáts up.
 
I'm finding my s*p*r*lex sometimes creates ripples in the plaster.... A stripy like texture?...only occasionally tho?

Maybe getting on it too soon? When it happens I revert to the MT and problem goes away.....

any other ideas?
 
maybe have a look at the video I did with the nela, that process wont give you any ripples etc... think its a case of timings pal.. try spatting off when the second coats pulled in a bit... that should sort ya...

Had a look through your posts, can't seem to find it..... But cheers.
 
2 trowels is enough is catch it right ffs, why do you wanna see your face in it anyway and effectively trowel another set up in a day if you trowel it more than twice, thats if your doing 3 sets, no one else gives a toss as long as its flat and blemish free that will do. Rant over
 
I do a trowel a flatten a trowel a spat a poly float a sponge a trowel a plazzi then throw confetti at it job done :rolleyes)
I always feel I overdo it with too much confetti??:RpS_laugh:
 
I have a question for Nela s*p*r*lex operators;

Are they more durable than the blue handled opposition?
Now when I say durable, I don't mean hacking snots off the block work or scraping the floor, but I do think you should be able to run a trowel down a bead to remove the excess without running for the file. I also think a trowel should be able to withstand a 3' drop onto a floor board without folding in half.
I have a Nela Premium trowel in the garage, and although it's surplus to requirements at present, the quality speaks for itself.

So is the Nela more durable & will it have the bollox to scrape the ice off the windscreen come November or should I stick with the Refina Diva?
 
I have the refina and toying with buying a nela but i know there cant be much difference berween them.

Don't you take a photo of it then compare it to the other walls you've done for consistency?

Always keep a tin of Pledge for the final polish. :RpS_laugh:
