Duraflex v Permaflex

[Lastlaff]

What is the difference?
So far, what I think I know is Marshalltown produce either a carbon or stainless steel xtralight finishing trowels - I’m looking for a 14x5 ideally carbon and pre-broken in (but not Permashape), do they make that?
I’ve broken one of my trowels recently and can’t deal with an odd number of trowels, a new one will make it an even 12.

Yes

Yes

You cant buy a carbon "broken in "

Just seen a sneaky foot under coffee table! Can I confirm with our resident foot expert @lurpak confirmation please!

It was hidden under a nailey old carpet - it took a bit of work as it was paint splattered and stained but brought it back to original 1930’s Parquet.

What's the difference for you?




Duraflex is a very flexible blade, but still a normal trowel blades thickness around 0.6mm I think. You can lay on with them no problem - easily durable enough, but i find them knackering as they just flex with everything.

Permaflex is exactly like a nelaflex, should never touch a hawk. Just for final finishing only, nice trowel. I think these are 0.3mm and bloody delicate, blades are stuck to the handle with some magic tape.

@lurpak - that is breathtaking, a real talent you have, but just slightly off the mark, age 10, size 1.
