using a semi flex rule

Post by Argyll »

I've heard good things about these flexible plastering rules and thought maybe it's a good investment. I've noticed there seem to be two types, semi-flex and one that doesn't state what it is but I assume it's rigid. I have a couple of questions.
  • On which occasions would you use one and not the other?
  • How difficult are they to use for a newbie?
My intention is to use it to flatten a wall above my fireplace and then fill in the gaps in plasterboard tapered edge in my kitchen.

I don't know if you can make out the blemishes on the wall but it's pretty bad.
