I bought a EZE spat other day and plastic trowel from Ryan at Plasterers1stop , used it today on 50m2 ceiling and was a life saver, as I didn't have a labourer it saved alot of time, I use to use speed skim but much prefer the spat, very good tool and price, only downside is non adjustable handle!! And as for plastic trowel.... Wish I bought one sooner sooo much easier on the bones!

my process is
Flatten 1st coat as I'm laying on anyways
spat second coat
Cross trowel with plastic then final with plastic when needed
as said I'm new to whole spat and plazzi so if you do it another way please share as I'm sussing it out cheers
 
all i can seem to use the plastic trowel for is flattening down the first coat which it does make very easy and mayb first trowel but it leaves very light lines in, when do you use it to cross towel after u have layed on?
 
I find the plastic trowels are great, use mine for flattening down. Did a bathroom ceiling last night. Put it on as usual - flattened with plastic, troweled with my old Tyzack and finished with plastic. Spot on (especially as it was red hot due to the bloody towel rad being on full)
 
1st coat flatten with speedskim2nd coat flatten with speedskim
Leave to firm
eze spat (flexi blade)
Eze spat again
2 passes with a plazzi done
Still use my speedskim to flatten 1st as the plaster is still very wet and if u jump on to soon with the eze spat can have a few problems . Whats the eze spat plazzi blade like mate ?? Is it for finishing or flattening
 
Just started using plazzi this week, lay on as normal, first rub with steel then if 2 more with plazzi. Very light weight and less pressure required. very nice tool indeed.
 
how do u finish with those plastic trowels, i only flatten with mine because it leaves very fine lines in the finish. i tried it on a ceiling this morning tried to finish with it, but after the first pull i saw it was leaving some nasty marks so went back to my ss.
 
have you tried giving it a light sand with a bit of wet and dry. mine doesnt leave any lines at all. works a treat when caught just right
 
If ur gettin lines mate it needs a bit of wet and dry sanding 1200 works well , sometimes i have to do this between trowels , keep a bit in my pocket ,only takes a couple of seconds so no probs . Give it a go mate

It has metal flexi blade. But Ryan gave me a plastic blade to to try out. I have only used the metal flexi ATM, but well impressed with it

They have only got them free as they have bought a few other things. For me to send one out it will cost me the blade and delivery. If you buy something and pay delivery I will happily include one
 
Using my two new eze spats today, need a little breaking in but that apart, very pleased, thanks for the free blades . Interested in the plastic blade at some stage.

The Refina plastic or plaster one stop plastic Rhys?
 
I have only ever used the one from plasterers one stop, so can't say how the refina plazzi is but I wouldn't change! I thought it was going to be a mare to get used to cos of the handle etc where as refina plazzi looks the part, but it's brilliant. Like a mirror in 3 easy passes which Is good as my elbows hurt theses days
