ive worked with steel trowels for over ten years and always thought stainless steel trowels left the best finish. until i seen this plasterer called carl from liverpool who had these prototype plastic trowels that he had made himself. ive seen the finish and it leaves. and its fantastic. i now use my stainless steel trowel as a floor scraper now. ive purchased a 14inc and a 25inch for flaterning. am tellig you's all now plastic is the answer to all your worries.:) :D ;D

are they available in gold i only like my plastic to be gold?
 
yes i do mean laying it on with plastic it is much better. if you lay it an it just goes of on you which obviously can happen sometimes then i do use my steel to take the lines out. but is very rare..when i close in its like its had a trowel. turning ceilings is a doddle you get no hollows like you do with steel. i used to have sleepless night knowin i had to do a ceiling with a turn.the only thing is youve just got to look after it and not be clumsy. i just use a wet an dry block to get any nicks out then theres no stratches. the only stratches a seem to get nowadays is of me bird. oh i forgot to mention a plastic twitcher aswell f***ing great.

surely if you lay a set on by the time youve put it on the plastic edge is goin to be scratched surely then on troweling its going to be scratched surface
 
this guy has went through so many different plastic materials this one hes using now is best. you would have to try it yourself to know how good it is.
