If your up 4 it bigk i could take a drive up to u some time soon if you're skimming and have a play about with the eze spat. I could take the speedskim so you can have ago of it. I see u use the nela. Ill take the refina s*p*r*lex so we can see what is best.
What is your first name. Am f**k**g useless with names. Am keith lol
 
Sounds like a great idea Keith!! Will be skimming near Bray in a couple of weeks, that would be ideal as its a bit closer to you, ( about 45 mins from drogheda)
Sounds like a plan!!!
Kieran btw!!
 
The school cieling looks ropey as fuuck !!!

2 lads on it done by 2 ??

Not trying to sound a pest but my god 2 good lads would skim it by 10.30 and it would look like marshys pic.

Without speeds spats and steps haha !!

1 decent lad with a labourer would skim it by 11.30.

I've been on the Eze for probably a year now I think. Wouldn't be without it now when you get the timings down it's a great tool.

On plasterboard work they are fantastic but bit more method required over artex etc each job is different the more you use it the more you adapt

I hate them but believe the new blades are a massive improvement to be fair ?? Im quite set in my ways no pun intended and the eze is brilliant end of. As i say any of you guys who are not to far from me am more than happy to visit and show/help you just how good they are :birra: will cost a few beers or gin mind lol
 
These spats are fine for finishing if you have a completely flat plasterboard ceiling. If you don't which in my case is 99% of the time then they are a complete waste of money.

Thats bollox pal adjust your method accordingly !! I admit on some overskims over artex and the ceiling is pissed a final trowel will be required as my smallest spat is 600mm

I may give this eze ago soon I got the speed skim with the blue blade? Thanks for the offer the is done kindness in the world lol.
 
Lads ,
out of the 3 is there much difference? going to take the plunge :)

.EZE is £82 with pole (800) https://www.gypsumtools.com/eze-spats.html
Speedskim is £50 with attachment (1200) https://www.gypsumtools.com/eze-spats.html
Refina is £90 with pole (800) https://www.gypsumtools.com/refina-skimming-spatula.html

the speedskim is near half the price and AFAIK you can use any decorating pole?

out of the 3 is the EZE what you would all recommend?
And if you damage the edge can you get a replacement blade?
cheers
