I'm finding I'm using the 14" MT and Nela Black flexi more tbh. Although just done a ceiling yesterday over stippled artex, put on with the 14" MT and used the 16" Nela to give it a flatten between coats and first trowel, switching over to the 14" Nela Black flexi for 2nd trowel. Polished off...

Just bought a Nela Black Edition Elite Premium in 16" flavour. Sat it next to my old Nela s*p*r*lex II. Used it yesterday on a small job and it worked well (although I did file the corners off and gave it a once over to deburr it etc). I used it to put on and trowel up. Swapping between it and a...

Bet no one would want to be in the same room as you after all that Guiness... :sick:

if you set the speed on your mixer slower, the skim goes off slower. It's all relative. No need for halftime or extratime, just change the drill speed.. In fact, forget the drill, just hold the paddle and walk round the bucket. 15 bag mix will last you all day and skim a house out in 2... It's...

Where did you get it from? All my Nelas have come from Ryan's place direct. Can't fault the bloke for sorting any issues out tbf. I'll just have to wait and see, and go from there.

I was tempted.. If I don't like the Nela I'll chuck it on ebay and get the MT.

Reading up on the replies on here and decided to buy a 16" version. I've got the 14" MT Permashape and a 14" Black edition flexi. My local builders merchants have the 16" Gold permashape but thought I'd give the Nela a chance as I've been using Nelas for years (11" Superflexes). I'll certainly...

£68 is a lot of money for something that will fall apart in the end. Nelas are half that. When I started I paid around £60 odd for my first Tyzack Centenary double tang and it took years to break it in.. (nearly threw it away I was so pissed off with it.. took a bit of rendering before it came...

We've been asked to do the same, and were going to try and find some info. We were told before that to blend Tyrolean over paint, we would have to mesh it, thincoat it and then splatter it.

I've got a Magnesium MT after my old one turned it is throwing star (now about 10" after being cut down). My mates got the Nela and it's pretty much identical apart from the handle, in fact it's the only way I tell them apart sometimes.

Had a look at a duraflex in Barnitts in York, they also have the Refina. MT was expensive and roughly finished, have to be honest the Refina looked decent enough but waiting to see the latest Nela. My old s*p*r*lex has seen some graft as its worn into the letters on the blade (and started to...

I use my Nela SF (11") for putting it on as well, speedskim between coats. Just done some artexed ceilings like that then flatten with speedskim. Used the SF without water for both trowels and then a quick polish - job done :RpS_thumbup: You catch it right and it's a doddle.

I like the feature that lets you swear (a little bit), otherwise it's just plain shít.. :rolleyes) :RpS_biggrin:

Hack it all off, then notice all the bits floating in the air when the sunlight comes through the window.. Then realise you're breathing all this shít in :RpS_scared:

Who's Neal? :RpS_confused:
