OX 1200 SPEEDSKIM 

Used the blue plastic spat yesterday it could have been a bad bag of plaster but it looked terrible I used it to do my first flatten prob shouldn't have but I ran the sponge over the panel and I came out great 👍

Going to be looking into spats I see some prefer the plastic blade over the SS not sure what to get to going with how easy my plastic refina trowel gets nicks in it I think I would prefer the SS blade

Gordon Mackie speedskim plastic blades are great! but for steel the refina is loads better than the speedskim steel blade I found, I use them daily , best results is to use at low angles , and use them vertically and then run it cross ways

@@leegorman3329 Cheers for the pointers m8 will try that out cause I've plastered the same way for 19 20 years it's awkward changing things bit it's defo the way forward the more I use it I can only get better at using it better get spats soon so I can get used to them aswell lol

Waited on the joiners finishing the ceilings coving went up in that room and I'm just sussing out the speed skim not had a lot of practice with it yet so just been finishing off with a 14 inch nela superflex

Gordon Mackie Ok cool, I've been using the speedskim more lately. Got a 1800 one and I much prefer it to the 1200 for broad work

I'm working my way up to ceilings and a few people r recommending the plastic blade prob get it at some point 👍

Just going with how much I have to sand any nicks out of my refina plaziflex I thought the SS blade would be better but might look into the plastic 1 different size mind you 👍

@@onpointplastering yeah I hear ya..they are a stronger plastic than the plazzi..and because it's only for flattening I don't really worry too much about the scratches..gonna be sponging and trowelling after anyway, I find it pulls less off if you're a bit early.. but to be fair you're gonna like whichever one you've got used to. 👍

@@deanarnold10 work in progress lol cheers for your input

I cut the 1200 blade st blue to about 700 and cut the rest up to smaller pieces like around architraves tight areas the bigger the blade harder to master ,plus the wall ceilings got be flat as 👍

Cheers for in put will try it out again once I'm back on the tools

Cheers for input not really used it much more I prefer going through the motions with the good old fashioned SS trowels 👍
