Just a helping tip to have a smoother surface & to avoid tiger marks on the surfaces you are skimming/filling. Using 220 grit wet or dry sanding sheets or even a electric sander round off the edges at approx 45 degrees angle. I used a fine permanent marker to mark the correct angles & a Mac Allister electric dry sander on the edges until I got a nice corner shape & then used a wet sanding black fine sponge of £land, & gave the whole edges a finishing leaving the stainless steel blade sharp but smooth finish. This process eliminated tiger/line marks when plastering/skimming & filling gaps using British Gypsum Thistle Bonding & Multifinish plasters & polyfiller & knauf fill & finish readymix jointing compound. BY THE WAY, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO WASTE TIME MIXING PLASTER FOR A QUICK THIN SKIM COATING ON WALLS/CEILINGS YOU CAN USE THIS KNAUF READYMIX JOINTING COMPOUND FILL & FINISH LIGHT (IT'S A BLUE TUBE 17LTRS) IT'S FANTASTIC FOR 2MM STRAIGHT FORWARDS USE, APPLY THE FIRST COAT 1MM, LET IT DRY OVER NIGHT (12HRS) THEN GIVE THAT SURFACE A LIGHT SAND & VACUUM IT, FINAL FINISH 1MM COAT THE SAME SURFACE AGAIN! JOB DONE FOR THE NOVICES! LOL, THIS IS THE DOWNFALL OF THING IF U WANT TO USE THE WHITE READYMIX STUFF THOUGH: IT'S TIME CONSUMING MORE THAN USING MULTIFINISH PLASTER! Always remember plaster is stronger & tough than this joint compound stuff, it's good to just make a nice neat thin finish coat to a ugly surface, before painting. Plaster skim is rock solid & leaves a hard tougher surface for many yrs!!!ALSO 1X 17LTRS READYMIX TUB IS £20 (opps, u can add 3ltrs of cold clean water to the bucket & mix with drill & whisk =20kg) APPROX OFF THE WEBSITE, WHEREBY THISTLE MULTI FINISH PLASTER IS £7 APPROX FOR A POWDER 25KG BAG! BUT U SAVE THE HASSLE OF MIXING & WATER WASTAGE & PLASTER WHEN U USE THE READYMADE STUFF. IT'S GOOD PRACTICE FOR STARTING TO PLASTER & U SAVE MONEY BY NOT HIRING A PLASTER! HOWEVER, WE CAN'T COMPARE OUR WORK TO THE HIRING PLASTERS THOU! HATS OFF & SALUTE TO THOSE PLASTERS OUT THERE. APPRECIATE UR VALUABLE TIME & EFFORTS OF ALL HARD WORK U GUYS DO! AMAZING PRO'S DAY IN & OUT THEY WORK SO HARD PPL DON'T REALISE! THANKS TO U ALL ALWAYS. COMING BACK TO THESE SPATULA'S THEY ARE AN BARGAIN. U JUST NEED TO ROUND OF THE EDGES IN MY OPINION FOR BETTER RESULTS OF UR FINISHED WORK OTHERWISE IF UR REALLY GOOD WITH SPATULA USING THEY R PERFECT FOR TO USE AS THEY ARE! THEY ARE REALLY SHARP AS U GET THEM OUT THE BOX WHICH IS SO GOOD FOR UR WORK 100% HOWEVER, I DIDN'T REALISE THEY WERE SO SHARP AS ONLY WHEN A BLEED POURING OUT OF MY FINGER, ENDED UP IN A&E FOR A TETANUS INJECTION & 3 STITCHES! ALL WELL NOW THOU! PLS BE CAREFUL AS UNWRAPPING OUT OF BOX PLS DON'T REPEAT MY MISTAKE! DO WHAT THE BOX LET'S U "BEWARE OF THE SHARP ITEMS!" GOOD LUCK TO U ALL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE SPATULA'S & THEIR NOT ONLY AWESOME BUT THEY R CHEAP & FAST DELIVERY WITHIN 24HRS SIGN FOR RECORDED & TRACKING! VERY GOOD SELLER, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME EVERYONE HOPE MY INFO HELPS U IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER! TAKE CARE. X PS: Knauf fill & skim light (blue tub) 17ltrs readymix white compound can be purchased online by: belmoretools co.uk they r fast & a good online company to purchase off. Regular updates via email and texts. Pls remember that jointing compound is known to shrink that's why I did 2x 1mm coatings leaving 15hrs inbetween the coats to dry & shrink out. Left a lovely smooth finish. I primer all surfaces with zinsser gardz clear & paint ceiling & walls with any brand emoltion paints. End results r good & lasted 5yrs still looking clean dent or Mark's or crack FREE! I KNOW THIS WAS A REVIEW FOR THE SPATULA'S BUT I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF MY EXPERIENCES PRIOR AND USING THESE TOOLS WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS TOO. JUST SHARING THE SKIMMING EXPERIENCE NOT TELLING ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING THEY DON'T WANT TO DO. HEY, THIS IS JUST FOR NOVICES OR DIYER'S. U CAN ALSO SEE FURTHER INFORMATION ON KNAUF FILL & FINISH READYMIX JC ON UTUBE FIRST BEFORE PURCHASING ANY MATERIALS. BUT THESE TOOLS GET U THROUGH YOUR WHOLE PLASTERING/RENDERING AND ODD BODD FILLING IN JOBS PERFECTLY. NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE GUY, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT & WERE ALL HERE SHARING & CARING. THAT'S ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO HERE. IF I HAVE UPSET ANYONE BY MY MSG, PLS IN ADVANCE I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S NOT MY INTENTION. I STARTED OFF JUST LIKE THIS AS JUST A DIYER THEN & NOW! I COULD NEVER REACH TO THE PRO PLASTERS OUT THE THEIR STANDARDS R FAR FROM 100% TO MINES! BUT I TRY TO DO A GOOD JOB & GET THE BEST POSSIBLE CLEAN SMOOTH FINISH & SAVE MONEY. I'M STILL LEARNING EACH TIME. BUT I JUST USED THE KNAUF READYMIX STUFF & I WAS IMPRESSED MORE AFTER APPLYING USING THESE SPATULA'S, THIS TIME ON THE SMALL WALL IT LOOKED REALLY GOOD AFTER PAINT AS WELL. BUT THESE SPATULA'S DID A LOVELY FINISH ON PINK STUFF, BONDING & KNAUF JC. NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE. LASTLY, TAKE CARE ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE WUTH EVERYTHING, KEEP BLESSED ALWAYS & FOREVER.🙏♥️Read full review

Great product, excellent value for money. This set covers all the plastering and filling needs you will come across. I use the large spatulas to rule off plaster work instead of buying the expensive speed skim tools.
