Nice :drool5:

I think Kev has one of those

I just got a Raimondi trowel with the gel handle and it's really nice to use :thumbsup:
 
The Raimondi floats are better for epoxy in my opinion Dave,I havent found a better groat float than the Masrshalltown ones and B&Q sell them for £8.99 down here , the slant trowels look top notch if you pardon the pun

I know gary but i go through about 6 floats or more a year each.. so thats 12 floats..LOL.. and at a tenner or so a time it is annoying to say the least.. it is stone work that knacks them..

I am sure it is the Raimondi green pads that are the hard epoxy ones..
 
Joe ( hillhead) uses the Raimondi ones and loves em.. and at a good price they are worth a go.
 
I've got the identical Raimondi float pictured, and I absolutely love it, dead easy to clean, always still looks like new, rubber hardier than it looks, and really pleasant to use, even on relatively small mosaic work, wouldn't use another one now. You'll love it... :thumbsup:
 
oh, and because it's soft but strong using the edges wisely you can really get a gorgeous finish on mosaics... much rougher than you will be used to usually, as I mainly use the direct method with different thickness glass and porcelain chips etc, yes I am very happy with it... :thumbsup:
