Yeap and i love it.
Use it to flatten in the first and second coats. It's lovely and flexi but stiff enough at the same time.
Lovely hand grips compared to the speed skim I used during the week.
 
approx 40m on flattened with trowel.. pulled angles whiped spat around it...took about 50 seconds.
no need to jump up and trowel tops again 2nd time round (spat off floor).
bit srtronger than speed skim
sound on beads
gets it more than flat enough.
good job for house bashing.
knocks a trowel off the gauge.
will do me just fine.

32" mate plazyflex.....nearly binned the f**k*r today went over the 2nd gauge a bit to early and was a bollox getting it right again.
gear needs to pull in a bit before spatting to get it completley flat.
3rd hit just with trowels .......spat does make life a wee bit easier.

im sure it knocks a bit of time off hits aswell due to leaving it a bit later.
then 2 cross mediflex trowels and done (y)
 
well after kidding myself for a week its good.....its a load of old shite ive gave it to the old spread a few plots down.
another useless gadget ....speedkim is better but ....18" trowels are twice as good ....sorry for the feedback but i tried ...got excited and realised its just another tool i cant be arsed with.

Take my hat off to you algeeman, don’t know how you skim everyday. If I have same breakfast for 3days I start getting pissed off with it. Your northwest aren’t you? Did you ever do for NDL? Or sypuk?

For some reason I didn’t think it would be your cup of tea, once you’ve got a system that works well it’s best just to stick with it I think.
