Thanks for the tips Darren(jakeyseven) & nick(13).
Had been away (just like Richard C - if you've read other posts; but not been at the good home exhibition
)
Have just finished the kitchen and am between rooms at the moment! But when I get back to it, will give the tips a go.

10 i would never be without a twitcher and do not know of any pro that do not have one i use 2 types the regular and the 3 sided box twitcher
Spot on Stevie,, as i said in the post, i've used a twitcher since the 60's, and all the plasterers i've ever worked with, used one too. Tyzack in my opinion make the best, but the one i have now is a Refina, bought for me by my daughter as a requested birthday present, a coupe of years ago.

yes i know your pic shows how angles should look a lot of new spreads cant get to grips with them it took me a while to get good results what twitcher u using rc? being old school you may be using the box
It is the box type. The Tyzack one i had, although a good tool, was not stainless, so it rusted, and wore away at the front corners. So every now and again, i'd get a hack saw to square off the front of the twitcher. Over time, it became very short. The one i have now, is the same shape, (box) but is stainless steel,, made by Refina Tools.

yes i have the box refina also, and the other twitcher i have is a regular marshaltown with the sides and corners grinded off with an angle grinder, also lol when the old spread i was learning with retired he gave me some of his plastering tools and amonst these was his old box twitcher rusty as hell and well worn it was probably the same as yours

No complaints either way - resurrecting my old thread or otherwise. Gained more info checking out the links!
I know its old but even i have learnt something ,i have the old box angle trowel and was always wondering why no one did a stainless one and got fed up of forever cleaning it when it got rusty so i now use a marshaltown dry lining angle trowl
so what do you prefer wossa the box or the mt ?
