Mate bought an 18 nela max the other day
Used straight out the box said was a few leaving lines and not impressed.
Was gonna a buy one but not sure now
Does it need some wet and dry before using ??

I have the nela max gold, was the dogs straight of the box, maybee a dud pal, the wet and dry should sort it though, hopfully.

Thats how I, and many others on here, learned our beautiful trade/ craft. But inovation moves things forward, for better and for worse .
 
bought the oxo ultra flex a couple of months ago and leaves marks everywhere, bit disappointing as i'm trying all these new ways after over 30 years of plastering and nothing comes close to a marshalltown ss trowel, second coat and not a mark, ultra flex and lines everywhere.
 
Is it a flex and what size? How much
Na mate , plastic for final pass only

Prefer M T Ultralight, have used the ss, found it good but did'nt feel as right as the carbon. Each to there own pal . Have you had a go with the nela skimming spats ?

Best plastic trowel on the market.... love mine.

I always wet and dry first :)
 
with tools i have always associated cheap with crap , i was just checking out all these new trowels everybody is raving about but they seem to be no better or as good than a good old marshalltown ss ,after my second coat there is not a mark on the wall,but i think people want to put one coat on and then just use a sponge of plastic trowel to flatten as the skill base ain't there or site prices are s**t,
