exactly the reason I got one,i'm 40 this year and plastering takes it's toll on your body,so if I can save it I will(fuk the cost)
 
I know it looks impressive but after the initial ' that was quick mate' doesn't anyone actually think saying that it looks a bit ****
 
I used it today load of sh1t,just makes lines if wet and drags when going off(want my coin back)cavity wall filler with a handle ffs
 
so you've not red the instructions either then.............................:rolleyes)

Hi mate - if you are struggling for some reason check out the Instruction & User guide. This contains quick reference 'How To's', Common FAQ's and also important tips on Care & Maintenance.

Here's a recent customer image using Speedskim (Scott Beaumont) . He uses standard Speedskim to flatten and SF to finish.

He also uses Speedskim on backing plasters, S&C and Krend.

whats an SF?

it's not what I thought it was.

you need to send people round to sites to give a demo
 
I find using a speed skim helpful when on my own ill knock up 3 1/2 bags put on a good coat then go round with speedskim gives enough time to wash up then put a trowel on it wait to pick up sponge it then couple finishing trowels with your choice I prefer metal sf finishing rule then plastic for final polish. It's like any new tool in plastering timing is key if you get on it at the wrong time you will have trouble and if you don't keep it clean you will struggle. As a two man gang we managed to get a 110m2 ceiling on in one go with fantastic results due to the speedskim it gives you more time which allows one spread to drop back and flatten in while one keeps putting on obviously you have to be a competent plasterer to start with but it certainly helps our gang on price work.

it helps with stilts,maby I need normal skimming work to test it out,been on a new school with daft ceilings
 
If we're on ceilings look in corner of room on pic we have a extendable pole which we attach the speedskim to and flatten off your feet and with the sf coming out you can finish it off your feet too. Just be patient with it and try different times.
