Thanks guys.

Dennis, yes I made that tool - I got tired of using the end of my trowel to "extract" the mix out of the bucket.  At one point in the early spring (after I selling several extremely large trowel jobs), I was dreading all the time that it was going to take get the Thin Finish out of the bucket and on to the floor - so I had to come up with something better.

The tool is actually a drywall pail scoop (mud bucket scoop) clamped on to the end of a broom stick. Cut the stick in half (about 3 feet long) and bend the scoop so it's at a 90 degree angle (it sits by itself in your bucket of mix which makes it easy to just grab while standing-up and start slopping it down! You can cover quite a large area of floor before you have to get down and do your troweling.

 If I can get hooked-up with an infomercial deal, I'll start selling them - but until then, you'll just have to make one yourself!

Oh-yeah, epoxy goes on nicely with a magic trowel - just do a little back rolling and you're good as gold.

Scratchcoat, 

Here's my reply to Dirk on the Trained Contractor's section when he asked the same question.
