Bow/warp in flex trowel

[Burt Reynolds]

Is there a way to pull them out at all? I got one cheap off a mate (nela mk 2) it's workable but bugs me as the bow is in the middle so I have put more pressure on it then normal to span the blade out which means more effort. I have others but thought I could save this one lol

Just buy another one cheap enough wunt f**k about with it to be honest

As above, don't think you straighten them. Start a thread asking if anyone has one to sell, I bet you a bag of kippers someone does

I’ve not used one of these devices, I am a carbon steel man and only a few years to go now so won’t be changing

You can try tapping in between the shaft and blade where the bend is I don’t no if this would work on a flexible trowel though...

Just buy a new one maybe a mediflex if your into these trowels.You’ll have your money back in three or four hours.I rest my case.

Tried that one didn't do much mate cheers though

You can kind of reshape them a bit tapping them the way you would a normal trowel, but hit it too hard its f**k*d. Tbh, its probably done, v hard to save. Ive went through about 6flex trowels in 3years,though thankfully none in a year or more

I've never actually damaged one I've put foam in a tool box so they always secure lol but my mate must have dropped it or something but it's like something hit the centre of the blade very hard lol

Its still usable just like I said more effort lol

If its hollow at the centre, you can try tapping it back out, but you could completely f**k it up trying it lol. If its still usable maybe better to leave it be. They dont take much abuse

Think I still might have a really worn in ss perma trowel in garage I’ll have another look tbh I think they are crap but some seem to like them on here
You can have it mate

Update on the ugly Nela lol

got it out today, doing patchings on this fancy job, I smacked the spine with a small wrench either side of the bow and one side is near perfect other looks like a c**t .. wouldn't budge... used it anyway works a treat just like a normal mark 2 now

Are they good trowel to buy and do you get tiger strips

Any trowel does, you are essentially warping the background of the top coat with too much with water or pressure

Stop being tight and buy one. it's your bread and butter bud

Carbon steel are good, you can get tiger stripes but I find this is when the trowel is well worn in and pretty much a polishing trowel
