Hi all,
I was browsing the web looking for info and found your site. It looks just the place to ask a question regarding a Darby. I see that there has been some discussion on the use of a Darby verses a rule. My plan is to replace some damaged plaster boards on an angled ceiling then skim over. I am very much a newbie in this area and would appreciate some help.
I have bought a 48†Darby assuming that it would be useful for checking for high and low areas and shifting the high bits. I will not mention the brand. The Darby is bowed, the centre is a few mm raised when placed on a flat surface (handle attachment side down) but only light force can bring it true. Is this to be expected? I would have thought that it should be flat and quite rigid.
Your collective views would be appreciated.
