Hello,
Total newbie to plastering but I'm going to attempt to practice skimming on a small wall and I noticed that there's a lot of recommendations on here for the MT Permashape.
However, some websites I've looked at are suggesting that there is a permashape plastering trowel and a finishing trowel, but they seem to look identical - are they both one and the same?
I was looking on Screwfix at the 13" (or maybe 14") gold stainless steel permashape finishing trowel to apply the 1st and 2nd coats. Am I along the right lines or do I need to get a different one?
Also, I've been given a brand new Nela black premium elite trowel and wondering at what stages can this be used?
