Corner trowel advice

[John j]

Whats best way to 100 percent guarantee no groove hen useing these. I get em now and again and really puts me of using em but they save a lot of time .. educate me someone

Worked with different spreads that use them differently. Some use on every pass. For me I'd don't like to use on first pass I just run a small brush down. I wait til set has picked up a bit then I put a blob of stiff gear on tip of corner Trowell then run down. Personally get better results when corner is firmer.

Kick his arse and tell him not to be such a pansy, you have to make him man up and use a twitch

What trouble are you having using a twitch if you have a groove it must be gapped

I got an old school style Putz angle trowel from P1SS. Takes a bit of getting used to but when you do it’s better than the drywall type.

That looks like the world's easiest jigsaw

Think it may be down to plaster being to wet

Think it may be down to plaster being to wet

It can be an issue, I twitch out after every trowel any tram lines disappear as the gear goes off. I don’t understand people not using a twitch but then that’s how I was taught so it’s natural to me

 

[lurpak]

1 twitch just before you lay down

Last twitch at end before last trowel when it’s stiff

My angles are to die for

 

[Rossi46]

At every trowel I just run the top/edge of the trowel down the angles on both sides. Just needs a little tidy on the finish then.

The trowel like every thing else has to be worn in , i use an internal every coat every pass , using a brush on a internal wet corner wtf lol .

i flatten everthing down then use it.
dont touch it again until near end of set....bear in mind im 1 coating on board work.

In my defence i asked how to 100 percent not get a groove . I know guys who been doing it longer then me and who i regard as top plasterers but still leave a groove on some corners . As for lad his corners are cock on he just runs a inch brush down em little b*****d . Anyway he dont need to worry bout corners he.s enjoying doing all big ceilings lol

Tried many a corner trowel and the Ragni one gets them right every time. Best angle trowel I have ever bought. Too get the lines out right give it a last corner either just before or just afte you hard trowel the walls and the corners come out sweet
