I have been looking for a perfect excuse to get a few more drywall tools... This graco kit would match my sprayers quite nicely! Love how it packs up too! Enjoy them, I know you'll put them to good use!
Happy new year Pete,tape and joint seems to be the way to go,I worked in the USA years ago and noticed they didn't seem to get those pesky hairline cracks we get in ceilings and walls and I guess that's the drywall,would it have better insulating or heat retention properties than the coldness of the usual skim coat of plaster we tend to use in Ireland and the uk over walls?keep well my friend
Happy new year my friend, great to hear from you.. it must of been a great experience working in the US and learning from North American techniques.. just like we’ve done with airless spraying, over recent years we’ve adopted US and European drywall finishing methods in the UK, and it’s getting more and more popular 👍 ..thanks for your input and insight 🙏 regards Pete
Yeah it’s good value too, when pricing up individual blades.. you’re right, the market has changed massively in recent years, the UK adopting taping and finishing methods from Europe and North America.. I’m inspired by how these tools (and the future of spraying plaster) can transform what we do 💙
Hi Stephen, I will put a video together for RUclips, it’s on my list 😆 ..I’m still learning, but first impressions and feedback I got on my Instagram page is very positive.. a fellow decorator commented, “brought a set a few months back, a great investment and well worth it”.. I’ve even smoothed a damaged windowsill with Toupret Wood Filler 😆.. really easy and huge transformation.. keep in touch.. regards Pete
Got a set of these a while ago, not even comparable to the Columbia set I have, blades came wavy and bent, handles were all scratched up. Almost like they sent me a demo set or ones that had been returned by someone else. Spend the extra 200 bucks and get Columbia products.
Happy 2023, Blessings.... Last job of 2022 was Skimming HSL, three rooms, having removed existing Wall, Ceiling papers (...interesting & well learned project!) Applied those tools having skimmed with Toupre joint filling. Application of Toupre was "rolled", second time I applied that method. At somepoint hopefully I think TexSpray Mk5 will aid applying a consistent & substantial amount of the Toupre... All those Blades were Excellent. For sure the future to presenting a Level 5 Finish to Spray paint appears good! NB: the complete Project was Spray painted (airless/hvlp), applied all the "lessons" - with my mistakes, but that Graco Handheld is a MASSIVE game changer ... touch ups, small rooms, bathroom/Kitchen was amazing bit of kit👍👍👍👍👍 as long as applied & cared for prudently... Thanks Pete 4 insights....looking to your insights 2023!
Hey Beija, happy new year my friend.. really appreciate your insight and feedback, especially using the smoothing blades and a roller.. it’s good you’re thinking of the future to use a spray plaster method, it’s a method where Europe is leading the way.. very inspirational 💙 ..It’s always a pleasure to hear about your spraying success, you’re doing great 🙏 ..all the best buddy.. regards Pete
Haha you’re right my friend.. quickest and most efficient way with this system is by roller / or airless spray pump.. Great to get your input, keep in touch.. regards Pete
Awesome!
Happy 2023 for you and family.
Thank you so much, appreciate you watching 😆 ..happy new year to you and your family 🙏 ..regards Pete

Super, respect!
Thank you Roman, hope you’re keeping well 🙏
Decent kit that most new builds are now taped and jointed these days not much skimming

Any video of it being used ? What the finish like ?
