3 screws in one end for devilling - when just rubbing up render you can just slightly unscrew the screwsI always put pins in both ends of float
Keying sand and cement with a wooden float is sexual
Keying & deviling takes skill - too deep and your fooked, too shallow and your fooked. After I devil up I always run my trowel over the surface to lay down the snots...saves scraping the next day before skimming, a lot of guys I've worked with don'tSkimming has become a subject of much confusion to some so called plasterers with all the different methods and tools involved and now it is starting with floating . for what its worth it called a key for a reason.
