nice video colin :)......its nice to see more females getting into the trade
 
hi colin, don't want to sound stupid but do you always apply the the plaster with a gauging trowel for mouldings and if "yes" why? cheers mate!
 
Hi Pug
No you can apply with a Trowel but you have more control with a gauger mainly because the mix starts out very wet so by the time you have applied the first coat in length it has started to pickup enough to go over it again also if there is a coved part to the moulding it is easier to get in with the gauging trowel but there is no hardened rule what suits you best
Regards
Colin
