was that taking the gear from the front allows you to use suction (as you squeeze the plaster between trowel and hawk rather than just lift it off) to hold the gear onto the trowel better - this is part of the reason why it is more efficient /less messy. well when i get time ill give it more thought have a big job coming up soon with plenty of meterage "hopefully" its on a military site i have loads of forms to fill in for clearence i if i get time ill give it more practice as at the moment i can only take the gear off from the front when the gear is starting to go in the round or when its a thickish mixLike rugby, is coming in from the side illegal?
The other point I forgot to make in my marathon post
It's only uncomfortable when it's unfamiliar , it just needs practice
just interested to see how many of you here take the gear off the hawk from the front or back i favour the back a lot of other spreads i know do it this way also, but as you can see in another post that mich says the right way is from the front, but i favour the back, so which way do you prefer?
feel free to answer im expecting some different answers here
the front would be the edge facing away from you it will be the edge closest to the wall and furthest from you so in other words if you take it from the front there is a lot of gear left at the back of the hawk which is very hard to stop from sliding off for beginners, or spreads like me who favour the the back because they find it to awkward, but im determined to do it now, ive never really give it much thought about where abouts i take my gear off the hawk until mich made me aware of it, i just hope i dont become obsessed with it because its not really necessary.just interested to see how many of you here take the gear off the hawk from the front or back i favour the back a lot of other spreads i know do it this way also, but as you can see in another post that mich says the right way is from the front, but i favour the back, so which way do you prefer?

Ok, apologies for REALLY naive question - but is the 'front' classed as the edge facing away from you ? Or is it the edge nearest you?
In that case - for me -
