  • @79maniac Knives are ok for beginners ; ) jk. Once you learn hawk and trowel the knives get put aside quickly. I have no need for anything over 12" and my routine leaves me plenty of time to coat my butts so I don't worry about hitting it again asap. Unless of course I'm just patching a butt on a reno. Then I'll use hotmud to get in and out quickly.

  • I use an 18 " blade with 20" pan, mix some hot with compound mud..way faster, plus you can hit it again soon and be done with it.

  • @msa1985 Just a regular flat trowel but they all have some flex if you push hard enough.

  • @mudslingrpro it's flexible or just a regular trowel?

  • @taco1337 You are correct ! Marshalltown is the best made trowel in my opinion.

  • If im correct you using a marsh town trowel and you sir do joint just like me ... like a pro !
