Speedskim

Through extensive research and prototyping the new Speedskim® ST Flexible Rule has been developed to increase output and improve quality of finish – bringing the plastering trade into the 21st Century. Developed primarily for Plastering and Rendering Speedskim® can enhance and accelerate a range of other construction applications making it extremely versatile. When used in the skim coat process Speedskim Technology® allows ‘fattening in’ immediately after plaster application – bringing no moisture to the surface Speedskim® ST accelerates the overall plastering process. With its unique flexibility Speedskim® ST out performs all other Featheredges and Darby’s, achieving a flatter faster finish – giving the Plasterer the confidence to complete larger hits. In today’s tough financial climate the New Speedskim® Flexible Rule is the obvious choice to stay ahead of the competition - with the potential of increased earning capacity.

Speedskim® Increases Comfort – Reduces Fatigue

Speedskim® (World Patents Pending) is Ergonomically Designed – Its tough, lightweight construction gives increased comfort to the Plasterer, even during prolonged or extensive use. When using to ‘flatten back’ or ‘rule off’ the unique Speedskim® handle design allows the fingers and wrists to be used in a more natural posture gliding over the wider area of plaster. In eliminating the need for the steel trowel during this aspect of the plastering process Speedskim® considerably reduces the effects of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) on fingers, wrists and upper body usually associated with the trauma of continuous steel trowel use. Anecdotal evidence so far suggests a reduction of at least 50% over traditional methods.
