Harling Trowels

[F.G.P]

Hi, just wondering.... For those of you who use a Harling Trowel, are you scraping the mix out of a bucket to apply it to the wall? If so do you find the trowel scrapes/catches the plastic off the inside of the bucket?

It's for throwing stones at the wall when your doing pebble dash!

If its wet dash fill wheelbarrow and stand between handles and throw, stops you getting covered in it!
dry dash out of buckets or if your really old school use a bakers tray with strap round your neck holds about two buckets!
You need a strong back though!!

Harling trowels are brill for scooping from a bucket - one scoop from the harling trowel = two scoops from a bucket trowel.....less work and quicker. It's stronger and the curved shape and top lip stops gear going on your hands.

Bucket for wetdash. Faster and can have it a bit weter for more even spread.

They take a bit of getting use too - you can't stand facing the wall, you have to stand at an angle to the wall. Love these for scudding - bucket under the left arm, sloppy scud and this holds it well.
