non suction float and magic cement sponge

[scott.beaumont]

seen these new floats from ireland called non suction anyone used one? also seen magic cement sponges on ebay anyone used them before? Whats the finish like?

 

[nickelarse]

no sucktion floats are s**t. the gear just fills the holes up. then u have to keep knocking it out

 

[beddy]

Also why would anyone buy a non suction float which are no doubt expensive due to being 'revolutionary' when you can buy a normal float and drill some holes in it. I did see a video of someone using those black plastic floats on render. I thought they were for hardwall etc. You used one nicholas?

 

[scott.beaumont]

I have used the black floats on both the smaller floats are good for rendering and the large one is good for hardwall.

All you can do is buy one mate and if it's shite then it will live in the back of the van for evermore.

the magic sponges are good for floating thick basecoats when still proper wet ready for a thin top coat( we machined it on in one coat and ruled and floated straight away instead of I sectioning it when much firmer) Tried the orange ones at the same time and they tore it up too much. Not sure on a finish for s&c tho

Blonesys best kept secret....the holy grail of perfect render technique, a tool so rare and coveted that knowledge of its' mere existence is only entrusted to a select few who dare to do battle at the next level of which giblets application form is being processed
