A good dollop of windolene in the mix and you’re sorted mush!I have a good finish but was just wondering how to get a proper glass finish I know the painters don’t like it but it does look good. Is it lots of dry troweling or is there another way or a certain trowel to use? Would really appreciate some tips thanks

Experienced enough! Guy dosnt even know what a set isI can see that you don't want to listen to people (correctly) advising you that a glassy finish is not a good idea.
Do you think people will admire your work when paint keeps flaking off it?
Over-polished plaster is not impressive - it screams 'inexperienced plasterer'
If you are not experienced enough to know what techniques can create a glassy finish, then you are probably not experienced enough to get your plastering perfectly flat. If you try to get a glassy finish on plaster that has ripples or flaws in it, then it is going to highlight all those flaws and ripples and make your work look worse, not better.
If you are still determined to try to get a glassy finish, then I wish your customers good luck, because they're going to need it when they try to paint their walls.
How long have you been spreading mate?I can see that you don't want to listen to people (correctly) advising you that a glassy finish is not a good idea.

think i missed ffs after my last postIf you have a decent decorator, willing to key every plastered wall with a Planex or LEROS P180/P220, then it could take paint OK, but how many decorators want to do that these days?
3 months?Long enough to know not to strive for a glassy finish
Didn't know you could cross trowel a headA spray bottle and some good old fashioned elbow grease. Stand back with your punter and admire that sheen
If you really want to look like a narcissistic lunatic then get yourself a super flexi plastic trowel and go bananas with it at the end!When you say set do you mean when it’s gone solid, or coupler hours after wet trowel or next day? Thanks a lot by the way
