I found that the areas that had more than a 1/16th of filler would break off with a quick twist of the spreader, but if it was less than that it was more of a chore.

I bought a pack of 3 different size stainless steel spreaders with plastic handles, and I like them better than the plastic. For one, they are more rigid which I found made it easier to lay down a thin uniform skim coat and also because they clean up real fast by pressing them against my bench grinder with a 7' wire wheel, and don't get damaged in the process.
