I've bought some ox skimspeed rules to give it a go on sand cement render work

 

[flatwallspecialist]

Don't bother use a proper rule speed skims only good on lightweight work. Skim or externally on thin coat render systems. Better using a serrated H-section and spat

The reason why the early ones warped was because the blade and the handle expand and contract at different rates

The changeable blade gave the customer what they wanted and solved a huge problem
