Hi all
I'm currently looking to buy my first plasterers trowel, which I would like to buy right and last for years.
On the plasterers course I had a go at, we used an 11 x 5 inch trowel, which had worn edges (prob from lots of student use!). It seemed ok for use with bonding & finishing.
We were recommended that Marshalltown was a good brand to go for. I've had a quick look on the Net and Marshalltown seems to come in 11 x 4.5 inches or 13 x 5. I'm guessing stainless steel, pre-worn, perhaps with a permasoft handle for comfort seemed a possibly good choice. Though not sure if the gold option was necessary...
Any advice on brands and size recommendation appreciated.
