What is the best Plastering Trowel?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.24 PM
There are so many shapes and sizes. I'm looking to plaster walls in two bedrooms and not exactly a pro at that. Which I should choose? Any retailer/brand preferences? Thank you for advice

No disrespect ment to any of you but it takes a very long time to break a trowel in for skimming. All mine are marshaltown .as for the superflex trowels personally I would never use one . You cannot get the same finshed product as good and i have over 34 years experience in the trade.

There is a good variety of trowels available now and everyone has their favourite but for the situation you described I would recommend a 14 inch refina superflex it’s a good all rounder for laying on laying down and finishing. Dan

it all depends on what finish you want and how quickly you pick it up yes it takes time to break a trowel in but these days you can buy a marshaltown trowel that is
broken in unless you old school that does not like change i use a marshaltown and sponge float+ refina superflex a speed float all depends what job im doing and by the way its a mith to polish plaster to a inch of its life looking like glass look for a eggshell smooth finish painters love it
