write a letter on weather you were naughty or nice, address it to the north pole, and maybe Santa will place it under your Christmas tree for you

Looks like whoever made that video came from Poland. Maybe it's European in make? I'd try to contact the maker of the video:

You could try using an online English to Polish translator site to translate what you want to say to him, if he doesn't do English too well:

Re: wipedown knife for plaster-need help


I just searched for a while, couldn't find anything like it. Now it feels like a challenge.....perhaps you should offer a reward?


Update: Think I found something pretty similar........still looking (WHY?!?!)

My bad. On second look that's looking more like a darby on a stick.

I can never tell when you're pulling my leg, canuck. Besides, my Titan hasn't seen nearly enough abuse. It's embarrassing how little I've done with it since taking the time to mount it in the van, set up a 25 gallon hopper, etc.

People ask me what that big machine is for. "Nothing, nothing at all."

I have 36" and 48" fresnos with handles welded on for big floats, and I find it difficult to imagine that they'll be any good for L5 wipedowns.

Re: wipedown knife for plaster-need help


Rats. Couldn't find one here to look at so I took a gamble. Maybe I'll sell it to a concrete guy as the latest thing from America for 2x the price.

Well, don't let me discourage you, you never know.....maybe next year will see all smoothwall guys walking around with fresnos pushed against the ceiling and the name "Jason" will be synonymous with ease and perfection?

Re: wipedown knife for plaster-need help


Quick update for ya, Slim. Got a Marshalltown 24" finishing trowel anchored to a pop-off extension pole tip with angle brackets, hose clamps, and the odd screw poking out. (pretty proud of myself for not having to break out the duct tape).

Loaded up pretty heavy (over 100 degrees here) with a 531 today and the trowel glassed it up nice.

Still haven't received the slab tools yet.

Do your best level 4 in the whole wide world, Then get some standard primer sealer and cross hatch spray everything 3 times, Spray up and down, then accross then up and down again, Move on to next wall, Really load it up, just to point its heavy but not running, then it will settle back into the wall nice and you can raduis sand it off without breaking back to the wallboard. You can even PC it with 220, I do.

That will get it super smooth and even, but wont fill, If you want level 5 as a fill, Then get a big lambs wool paint roller, Thin AP, Roll it on then trowel off, Twice for the greatest level 5 in the whole wide world.

Forget those level 5 so called plaster products, A good hit of standard sealer will do the same, And its cheaper, and you dont need a super expensive pump.

Read the level 5 threads.
