This is my secret weapon for rendering: The Refina Powerfloat!
I'll walk you though the full review on this power tool and show you how effective it is when you're rendering a wall.
This tool is a game changer for me but it does have its cons. Like all things it isn't perfect and it does take a bit of time to get used to using The Refina Powerfloat.
in this video I'll show you:
- The most effective way to use this tool and the #1 reason this is a must for all renderers
- The biggest mistake I made from working in the winter and the main reasons why you MUST avoid it
- Essential rendering techniques for perfectly first walls
- The best time to use the Refina Powerfloat for success and the cost you'll pay for getting it wrong
- The #1 rule in rendering which effects everything you do
- The biggest advantage to using the Refina Powerfloat with clear demonstrations on how it works, and more importantly, when to use it
and mucho, mucho more!
****They didn't have the Refina Powerfloat but I found a c cheaper variation on Amazon. The links below: amzn.to/2K5jwfL

Hi Blaine. U have some great vids. I am a plasterer; 36 yrs now! Never thought there cud b any new ways out there that cud make life easier. Seems I was wrong. Am 57 yrs now but still running my own business. I would encourage any old school boys to look into your suggestions just for a moment. Already like using this plastic spatula 900mm. We always think we know it all until we get some 'New Kid' on the block with ideas that actually work! 😉👍 PS. I thought, since letting my labourer go 20 yrs ago I was the only one that takes muck directly out the bucket? 😉

Love watching your videos pal. I recently purchased a Refina Superflex 3 after watching one of your videos, and it really is an amazing trowel for finishing 👍. Keep up the good work mate.

Hi love your videos, im an industrial spark......... love working with my hands and have a K-rend and building company on the fylde coast and just bought the cordless version from ellis building products. Paid 17% less tan retina but ive just put a 3m2 wall on today but went 4mm over because im frightened of the machine ripping it to pieces. I know its not the weather for it but its just a test as the weather is up n down 👍 Cheers

Hi, I do not see why this tool should be so expensive, I know I have not got the tool to look at but it seems to me to be a larger example of a power sander and with a cordless drill or even your paddle mixer with a short spindle set at a slow speed it could be made for a fraction of the price and almost no cost if you have a few bits of wood and most people have a cordless drill in their kit to start with.

@@PlasteringForBeginners I been plastering 20 years and I’d love to try one it’s one of them would need to have enough render for it to pay for itself as you know and wasn’t a dig for that 10 mins a day doesn’t matter how good you are render and that 1pm sun is unforgiving even if it’s flat as a pancake nature of the beast I suppose
