I've tried to get one online but with no success.I regret not bringing one home with me from Boston in 2004 when I went on a holiday to see the cousin who was working at board hanging as he called it.Anyway the holiday turned into 3 months skimming with diamond veneer finish.I'm sorry I did'nt travel more.
Do Nela do 14 x 5 carbon
Sorry forgot to answer your question,yes they are good on par with MT.
Its in rayne near braintree nat
I want the curry aswell I don't know how to get my hands on one though, I emailed curry from their website but didn't hear anything back. It would make a lovely addition to my collection.
Lovely stuff.A bit like mp finish but creamier.
I'd say iv pushed about 100 ton of sand and cement up walls with it. It's to good of a trowel for a skimmer like u2 years to break it in lol , might be sooner if he went to work
Tbh I'm not sure about the width sizes mate, @Plasterers1StopShop ?
There is some on eBay
I can't find them on eBay, the guy from USA uses a nela premium so they must be better or equally as good.
I'm gonna phone California to find out how to get them, I looked and there hq don't have email, 8 hours time difference is only problem thoughI want a curry trowel
There is a few but not the Carbon and not the ones I'd want off there website, the dude in USA said he rated the curry more than mt over there so they must be kinda good I'm thinking, also is Bon curry trowel too ?
How many trowels do you own altogether? Truth
I've emailed a few people over there but no joy so far, some proper trowel geeks on this forum
What is the blue trowel?
Me and my mate made it was bored one weekend, not got a name for it yet
a monday morning trowel that one or one for the first week after a holiday
I think they can be made to order yes with specific sizes, I think @Vincey will be the first to get one unless @Heritage Plasters comes good and sends me one
@Heritage Plasters send me a curry trowel mate?
It's proving harder than I thought to get them , I'll keep you posted mateI think they can be made to order yes with specific sizes, I think @Vincey will be the first to get one unless @Heritage Plasters comes good and sends me one
what website would you go on to order them ?I'm not surprised it's hard to get them. Unless you know where to go a curry is hard to get here too. I generally call them and order direct. Last time I did they were 1.5 months out on their orders. (It's not usually that way but they had an issue getting their stainless in stock.)
The main difference between the steel on the curry vs the nela is the stiffness and spring of the steel. The nela is a lot stiffer than my curry. Some of that is because it's thinner but I have a 14x4.5 Curry which is the same as the nela and it's still more flexible. It'd not a ton but noticeable.
Curry trowels are made to order so you can customize the size to be exactly what you want. Standard width is generally 5" unless you ask for something else specifically. (they also make notch trowels, darbys, slickers, etc.)
They do need to be broken in the be their best. I usually diamond stone my edges and set the trowel first thing and it's usually ready to skim right away and just gets better with time. (there is a coating on the steel that's annoying but it comes off pretty quickly.) Let me know if you have trouble and what you might be looking for specifically. Maybe a trowel swap will be I order. I can't find a plaziflex or speed skim over here.
(I have one I've been saving now I'm scared to use it.)
