Got the speed skim- now seen the Regina spats. Looks quite big. I’m small and struggle with the speed skim, so worry it might be too big to manage for me.

@geezer432 7 ай бұрын

would be interesting on a update on this subject and your thoughts still about it.. if you still using it or stuck with ox? and what is the difference between the plastic blade one and the stainless steel blade, when and where to use them

I preferred the look of the refina from day one but got the speedskims to support British manufacturing and wide availability. In purely quality of finish I’d say the refina are better.

@NevilleHayfield Жыл бұрын

That looks nice. I don't know why there saying it's new. Refina sent me 1 similar 4/5 yrs ago. Exactly the same handle, Frame. They gave me the fitting to attach to their pool. Got that as well. I think they called it rollgrip spatula. And the pole attachment is called rollgrip attachment. Exactly the same design

Ur right about the ox ergonomically it’s slightly flawed so the raf does seem better that said the ox has played a blinder for me in the past

They’re obviously popular cos I can’t find a 900mm in stock anywhere, even Refina don’t have them!

Can you use this after sponge floating to take out the sponge marks or would a steel blade be better suited?

@martindonaton3603 3 ай бұрын

If your using a sponge mate steel blade 100 percent

@davepangolin4996 Жыл бұрын

These plastic things are only used to flatten and not finish. They also need material so avoid the temptation of farting around with the first coat. Get it on , flatten , wait , finish

What do you think of the Skimflex Superspat? Seems a fair bit cheaper than the Ox or Refina, with similar handle to the Refina. Also, what lengths of spat would you recommend for beginners?

why does every company that sells these types of tools always put sharp angles on the ends..? makes no sense since its not like you will use these to perfect crisp edges

@taureanwilliams2900 Жыл бұрын

Because they're not plasterers.

@utensil999 Жыл бұрын

I guess because they are mass produced items, and can't individually be hand finished to work like a seasoned tool.

@jonnyhifi 11 ай бұрын

The sharp corners are a side effect of cutting the sheet material used for the blade. To soften the corners repeatedly consistently in a production line is really difficult - esp as they don’t want people to start saying “mine wasn’t as nice as my mates” …

@joecooke8069 11 ай бұрын

im confused to why so many spreads are putting on and flatting and not just throwing both coats on with the same gear? that means mixing up 4 times in a day if doing 2 gauges. makes absolutely no sense to me unless your slow as fuck
