@Greenhawkconstruction @oxtoolsuk
In todays video I am plastering some ceilings using the ox speed skim for the very first time. you will see it in action and I discuss the real life use and the mistakes that I made the very first time I used it and what I think of it at the end of the video

I’ve just started using the ST on my first coat. I’m still not sure about it but it’s definitely getting my first coat perfectly flat with a lot less strain.

Once you get used to them it makes life easy I’m using a 900 I give it the sf blade 1st then the pf & finally the st s/s blade & it is 2nd to none ceilings is a must 👍

My local muck spreader uses something similar but only on straight runs, probably why the chieftan pushed all my cables out of his way causing some brown trouser moments.... Praise the lord for pen and paper measurements hey......

💯 matey 👍

Everyone relies on these new speed skim and flex trowels but always solid trowel keep plaster flat

[@GreenHawkConstructionltd]

Yes I agree with you but the speed skim definitely makes your life easier but don’t think you can Chuck your normal trowels in the bin 👍

I struggled with it myself (1200) and I’m not a plasterer by trade but more a decorator who also plasters. I used it on a wall that in places was back to brick so because there was no issues of water ingress etc I used bonding and it worked great, was on a staircase with no scaffold or planks (just a ladder). In hindsight I’d have gotten a 900mm but i suppose going in at the deep end will work in the long run!

Keep it as flat a you can...can knock the skim dwn stright away with it on first coat so gives you more time m8

[@GreenHawkConstructionltd]

bloggs692413 cheers matey I am looking forward to trying on some better walls but definitely liking it 👍👍👍

@@GreenHawkConstructionltd 1200 can be clumsy til you get used to it defo go for a smaller 1 for tight places👍

[@chrisault9093]

The 900is a good allrounder but I find the 1200 really comes good on flatting big ceilings and nice big walls

[@brimplas1]

The speedskim sf is better than the st...

[@danielcattell2943]

The 1200 is to big i found. Get the 900 sk much easier
