Any one using these and happy with them? Started a thread recently about wanting a spat for ceiling as am suffering after doing a day of ceilings but got no definite answers so bought an sf speedskim as I could use the same pole as with my normal speedskim...... been using it all week and it's terrible. .. way to rigid and ruins any finish.... really struggling with it....
 
I was thinking getting one I've got st blue I used it ,it works if you can flatten each coat straightaway but not for finishing thou but the sf was the job for finishing

Iv got the 600 sf + was same as you at first, i was tryin use it instead of a trowel but wasnt good, worn it in a bit now + use it like a spat + just use it for final polish if it needs it but after blue speedskim, mt, nela then plazzi it doesnt need it so doesnt come out very often.
 
I have never been able to finish with the sf... but I did not give it a good chance as I don't get out much :-(

It's all Dow to times from what I have read here... I think @scottie5 uses one...
 
I am really struggling with it ,I thought it would make my life easier. ... i got the 600mm one and it has no flex in it at all...... All the new finishing tools such as supa-flex and plasi-flex have a lot of give in them. I have all of these but was after some thing as good but wanted some thing I can use on a pole for ceilings.... its going on ebay over the weekend. ....
 
I don't use the 600 only the 1200....

I use to to flatten in straight away and then whip over with an 18 trowel them second coat the 1200 over then 18 then s*p*r*lex.from there on in....

Yes the 18 is a bit over kill but I don't do much these days so I we'd to cast my eye over and be aware a bit more :)
 
Got one and hate it compared to the refina 880 splat the refina when doing walls I can use the splat for the first 2 passes and then final with Nela
