I was like that when I started once you get the hang of them. Get the skim as quick as you can no need to get it flat once over whith speed have a cup of teaNever used a speedskim don't see the point in them but that's just me
Got a 13in stainless one handy last trowel get the fat offI don’t like my metal edge one really, tiger stripes galore off it. I like my plastic one for good flatten. Wouldn’t recommend
No thanks I've managed 30 years with a skimming trowel I'm old school ha ha . Although I have got a nela which is s**t hot lolI was like that when I started once you get the hang of them. Get the skim as quick as you can no need to get it flat once over whith speed have a cup of tea
It is quicker on flattening but takes same time to dry as speed skim and if you were trawling up. I think some times it dries quicker just troweling becouse speed makes it wet again. Quicker to get the job done not much if ther is. The only big advantage of speed skim. wear tear on wrist shoulder neckUsed a speed skim a couple of times, wouldnt say its 4 times quicker but then again im not the most experienced with it
That's a totally different argument in itself though
I finish faster on smaller hits with a marshalltown steel trowel and that only and it can take much longer as soon as I touch it with a s*p*r*lex or speedskim
Will i be s**t in for asking why people are writting it as "s*p*r*lex" ?
