Hello plasterers
Just joined the forum and I need some advice please. I recently did a 4 day DIY plastering course and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I am doing another two days in November to do a bit rendering and larger areas with another plasterer. The course was more hands on with mainly trowel practice to acheive quite an acceptible finish, but not too much on the theory or tool side due to the time.
I am a sparky by trade and have had my share of house bashing and plastering chases, and quite big patches of walls where blown plaster has fallen off. Anyway I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between permashape and broken in? I am after a SS trowel with the ground in edges, but not the curved type as I can't get the feel of them. I keep getting told different things from wholesalers that the curved blades are permashape, or they say they are broken in. I intend to buy one from mail order as they are more competetive than the wholesalers near me. Which by the way quoted me almost £50. nd I don't want to buy the wrong trowel by misunderstanding or being told by a till operator that the trowel I want is called a permashape or preworn then end up with a curved blade.
:RpS_crying:
So any advice will be much appreciated.
Cheers.
