    PUTZ Valles Plastic Finishing Trowel

    Yeah, imagine a nick in the edge would be the end of it and a replacement blade needed. I'm waiting for Rossi to win the 2016 championship VR46:numberone:

    PUTZ Valles Plastic Finishing Trowel

    I got a chance to use one of these this week: Just used it for final trowel-up/polish after everything was flattened. IMHO it is the muts-nuts!!! Effortlessly leaves a silky glass like finish to the plaster - bootifull. Felt compelled to give it an endorsement (not the nasty kind you get...

    What drill/mixer is best ???

    I recently used a Refina MM, they seem very sturdy/durable. I'm also in the market for one so thank you kindly for that bit of manufacturing info and the saving to be had on them (y)

    Rendering with lime?

    I don't understand people who say that they don't like rendering/floating in sands & cement, it's the muts nuts!!! I love floating it up and finishing it off with a sponge, rubs -up a treat imo ;)

    who makes the best trowel/s these days

    There are people out there that do/are, isn't that why Speedskim brought out their pink range of stainless steel bladed range? I can image that they'd be okay on something like Thistle Mag as this isn't troweled up to a polished finish...

    who makes the best trowel/s these days

    I have to say, this is the way I remember it too, but, that said I'm all for giving the speedskim a try, if it make the job quicker/easier in some way then it has to be a good thing right?! There are a lot of spreads out there who suffer from RSI
