the twitcher is used just to straighten the corners out lay your 2 walls on hold the twitcher at an angle so just the tip of the twitcher along with just the edge of the blades are touching the walls it helps to put a little bit of plaster on the nose then apply firm and steady pressure then run the twitcher down if you see any misses stop and go back over that spot with the twitcher to fill in any misses or deviations, go just over half way down then reverse the twitcher and come up from the ground to do the bottom part of wall, if the twitcher leaves any lines trowel them out, and yes sometimes i twitch just one wall the twitcher still straightens the wall up even though the adjoining wall is dry
steve, you'll be glad to know i've been using my twitcher all week m8 and like it now i've got the hang of it.
i use it when flattening in each coat/application, a bit on the nose and run it down the corner and then up from the bottom, then immediately trowel out the lines that the wings leave.
