Tiger stripes lines

[Pink_velvet]

Cant stop getting these in my work its only recently too. Tiger stripes ive tried double coating using fresh finnish corect timing really frustrating Any ideas? Bad plaster,trowel,plasterboard like having the shanks at golf lol.
12 years plastering ready to hang trowel up!

 

[CTPlastering]

Your trowel with to much edge on it ? Maybe keep it flatter and more weight ?

 

[BigK]

Reasons for me are; new trowel, stuff too deep, going over too soon, having trouble with my new spat with these atm

 

[kgreigh]

Persevere and adapt, as soon as I see these when I'm twoweling I know I'm doing something wrong, il alter the trowel angle,the pressure or water etc and go over it again and they disappear. It's not the gear from my experiences.

 

[Pink_velvet]

Cheers tried all these still apear now and again going to change my trowel see if helps

 

[Scrim88]

Happened to me yesterday, I found cleaning the trowel more often and less angle on trowel sorts it out.

 

[algeeman]

Take it off with a floor scraper while stoned laughing out loud cause you know you'l be in the pub within half hour not giving a f**k !!

 

[CTPlastering]

Aye a defo think its angel and pressure , or on it to soon with the angle that you are using on that trowel round the wall . It has got worse lately well last few years i think with these but as said just change ur angle pressure water etc or on it to soon . Ive seen them in my wall but never been a problem . Normally to much edge on your trowel

Waiting for your callmate

That looks more like Bruce Lee' s art
We have this discussion very often on here and we saw tiger- tiger on the wall and I thought mines are bad, but looking at this makes me feel like a champion. Been there done that, lesson learned! Till the next tiger shows up

It's the plaster, been getting them bad myself past few weeks.

 

[hstoke]

Tiger stripes caused by troweling when wetting if the plaster hasn't gone off enough or ur going up n down and then across !U need to keep to the same pattern all the time

 

[jamesthefirst]

Have a tea break and some Hobnobs then go back and they should disappear!

 

[Pink_velvet]

First trowel of scond coat tried different angles no water with water still happens

Where do you get your stuff from maybe a bad batch never had it in all the years. Beatsons scotland

 

[beader]

use board finish and a carbon trowel.

Absolutely nothing to do with the plaster.

 

[Fatarm]

Amatures get tiger stripes....im
on leopard Spots now...

 

[scottie5]

You can borrow our poacher sorry patcher if you want.
We can't keep him going.

 

[Danny]

clean tools and laying on too thick along with a breeze drying the surface faster than the base....

lots of things....

Are you using multi finish? Worst stuff I've ever used! Cleaning the trowel after every 1 or 2 swipes with a shallow angle should prevent that nasty tiger from appearing [emoji33]

 

[Scrim88]

Never seen them happen on outside walls

 

[stuart23]

Your wrong there, 3 experienced spreads all getting them over board on same job, get different stuff and they all disappear.

I'm not wrong mate at all, you never mentioned 3 experienced spreads, you said you've been getting them bad for weeks, if you've been getting them for weeks why haven't you put them right as you go ? Its not the gear but the the person putting it on the wall.

 

[CTPlastering]

On it to early with to much edge thats all , flatten the trowel down abit and mayb a dab of water like

 

[CTPlastering]

I think its with all the hype of the speed skim makes it set quicker , pazzie trowels ahh u can fin earlier .... Just getting on it to early is the problem i think .....

I think that's about right, getting on the gear just a few minutes later can make all the difference. Usually changing the trowel angle sorts it out but if it doesn't just wait a while or try troweling a different area first.
