FAQs

What is the primary function of the OX Speedskim?

The OX Speedskim is used for flattening, finishing, and ruling off surfaces during the plastering process.

What materials is the Speedskim compatible with?

How do I clean the Speedskim?

Clean the blade with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Does the Speedskim require any assembly?

No, the Speedskim is ready to use straight out of the box.

What is the benefit of the semi-flexible blade?

The semi-flexible blade helps to achieve a smoother finish and adapts to minor imperfections.

How does the Speedskim reduce fatigue?

The design of the tool, including the aluminium handle, helps to reduce strain and fatigue during extended use, lessening the risk of RSI.

Is there a blade guard?

Can I use this tool on uneven surfaces?

While it can handle minor imperfections, heavily uneven surfaces may require pre-leveling or preparation for best results.

Troubleshooting

Plaster is sticking to the blade.

Clean the blade thoroughly with a damp cloth. Ensure the blade is clean and free of debris before use. Consider using a blade lubricant.

Difficulty achieving a smooth finish.

Ensure the plaster is at the correct consistency. Apply even pressure and maintain a consistent angle while skimming. Practice and adjustment may be needed.
