Just ordered some new grout floats and a nice trowel

[merlecollins]

Getting a bit sick of wrecking marshaltown grout floats in no time at all.. so just ordeed a couple of the Raimondi ones..

and some spare rubbers..

​

and i also just ordered one of those |Slant ridge serrators.
​

Anybody else got these..?
​

​

YES

Raimondi is great gear and those trowels clean SO easily.....

You get them from Colin at KS??

i used the slant ridge trowel on a couple of jobs last week they give great coverage but found they use a fair bit more adhesive than the normal 10 mm floor trowel but couldnt fault them!

What colour is the raimondi epoxy float? lookign at buying some gear today.

Kwik Split have a great deal on the washboy / lash clips / trowel and a grout float

i've been using the slant trowels for few weeks now. i will never go back. very good handle.i don't use them on walls though. i use a platinum trowel for that, as uses a lot less adhesive than the slant trowels.
as for ramondi washboys. i got a big pedlo washboy, to be honest it's the worst thing i've ever bought. it never gets enough water out! the only good thing about it is the big hand held sweepex float you get with it, now i use this all the time. it has changeable floats, so i have 1 for grey, 1 white and 1 for black grout,

Coolio, so a slanted 10mm for the floor and a normal 10mm for the wall. A 'U' shaped one I assume?

Thanks mate

Will be epoxy grouting the whole bathroom so kinda thought a washboy would be an essential thing to get

wont be used after Ive doen the bathroom so I guess I need a decent one so I can probably resell it on after ive used it!

any reccomendations?
