Using a wet stone to help improve the edge of your finishing trowel.
มุมมอง 15K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Even the best quality finishing trowels need a little bit of work on their edges so as to help prevent dragging over the plaster surface. This method works really well for reducing the time taken to break in your trowel other than by using it for you plastering tasks.. Beware the trowel will become very sharp! www.silvertrowel.co.uk

    Are you trowelling the lines out of the first coat as everyone else I watch or what I've been told is just get the first coat on and don't worry to much about lines as long as it's flat and sort them out after putting on the second coat and trowling at the end

      Hey mate, can I ask did you use the metal version or blue plastic version for flattening out? I tried using the metal version and it scratches the hell out of the plaster. Im not sure if i am putting too much pressure on? or it's the wrong blade type? Im going to get the blue blade anyway. I held it at a high angle was doing a test patch on a crappy wall elsewhere, not done the real thing yet. Cheers!

      @BrumCraft 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@adamdavidkenyon6664 I didn't get on well with the plastic one so switched to metal one. Maybe your plaster had started going off so it start pulling. You need to wet the blade first. There's an additive you can put in the plaster to delay it going off too (if you're a starter like me)

    Don't sharpen new trowles just use them for dry trowel or polish up stage. Or render Ya can use this method in video but be wary the blade becomes lethal quite quickly. They soon break in..the old way even when starting out you should have at minimum 3 trowels in ya tool kit and a Darby & straight edge.. 1 laying on & render 1 finish work 1 drywall (stick) and rough Cote (bonding or hardwall) Price Wise ya don't need to spend a ton of money.. tyzack trowel if ya can get one it will serve you well.
