40" skimming spat

Just purchased one of these to see if they're any good after trying n liking the plazyflex. Just wondering if anyone has any usage tips? Also, I read somewhere (after I bought it) that they need the corners fettling for better results. That true?

I just use mine for flattening before sponge or first coat I don't flatten the second coat with it

Splendid, i was shittin meself a tad wondering if id wasted me money after reading that they left lines in somewhere, some very detrimental posts about on the net about em, as well as plenty of good ones. I shall find out soon enough, should be getting my new toy in next few days.
