Love my Refina speed skim

@SisterAbdullahX 10 месяцев назад

I’ve just literally walked through the front door having come from Screwfix with a new Ox Speedskim and the first video I see is Blaine’s comparison between the X Skim and the Speedskim. He came to the same conclusion as you, the X Skim is better. Good job I haven’t opened the box yet! It’ll be going back tomorrow and the X Skim will be getting ordered.

@AlexMorleyPlastering 10 месяцев назад

You won’t go far wrong with the xskim. Great bit of kit.

@timbell49 Год назад

I was literally looking at this to buy and your video popped up.

@farukm7627 5 месяцев назад

Thanks mate. I ws going for the Ox, but now, I think this is it.

@rockroll456 Год назад

I’ve just got the refina super skim trying out tomorrow I’ve always used Speedskim but thought I’ll give this a bash 🙏

@Seanmufc89 Год назад

Before watching I’m guessing it’s the same Yup lol, I will be marking a centre line on my old one though 👌

@jasonlaverty76 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for that very informative review and I'm enjoying some of your other videos. I'm a total DIY'er and although I can tape, joint and skim plasterboard, I'm certainly no plasterer . I am going to be skimming over some 90's Artex ceilings and was wondering what size X Skim would you recommend?

@markneeson7162 Год назад

Have an old one and every way I use it leaves a line, bought the new one and it's loads better leaves no lines. I was that impressed I bought a metal blade one, haven't used it yet. Not my cup of tea for the sand/cement. Great video Alex.👌

@georgeatkins6414 Год назад

Is it like a superflex? Looks better for your upper body and elbows!?

@MJWhelan1 Год назад

Any notable difference between this and speedskim with plastic blades?

@karloverbury1432 3 месяца назад

Hello. Can you please tell me the difference the refina x skim and refina superskim metal blade option. I know the x skim is interchangeable blades but other than that what is the difference.

@mickbaker7573 Год назад

Do you use it for laying down after 2 nd coat or finishing of plaster? Or both off above

@AlexMorleyPlastering Год назад

these are used for flattening between coats.

@jacoubal_cestriani6745 Год назад

Presumably the X in 'X-Skim' stands for exchange...as in you can exchange the blade.....?

@user-gf1rv2db1o 7 месяцев назад

Does both the plastic and metal do the same and just a personal preferance or do they do and achieve different finishes

@Jellyisamazing Месяц назад

Plastic definitely makes it pull in quicker, metal helps keep it wetter, you can almost have both for different season in the UK

@Matt-yl2ok Год назад

I want one , sold . Had the 800 black one so worried about the new sizes why change that 😱

@AlexMorleyPlastering Год назад

not sure why they changed the sizes. though the 900mm is very nice. I probably wouldn’t go above or below the 900 size for domestic work.

@Matt-yl2ok Год назад

@@AlexMorleyPlastering yea I ordered the 900 so fingers crossed , with the replaceable blade .. cheers mate

@bgamble9957 6 месяцев назад

Why is plastic better than steel blade?

@AlexMorleyPlastering 7 месяцев назад

Honestly it’s a video in itself. But the basics. They are easier to maintain as they can be sanded if damaged. They are stiffer as less prone to warping, as such can be used for heavier products, and lastly plastic blades don’t pull the moisture to the surface which helps in drying more evenly and it makes it easier to trowel up. Way less tiger marks with a plastic
