Product description

Stainless Steel Trapezoid Trowel StIff Blade Rubber Handle for Venetian Plaster Application represents an important goal in the development of new products, designed according to the real needs of users. The need to avoid black streaks on applied materials, especially in light or white colors, at the time of polishing, led to the search for a new type of steel that the K brand has obtained in exclusive use.

When to Burnish

The ideal time to burnish is soon after the third coat of Venetian plaster has been applied. It should have lost it's tack but hasn't completely set. It should be starting to lighten in color but not completely lightened in color yet. It will also feel somewhat cold to the touch which tells you that there is still moisture that hasn't yet cured. Learning to look for these details is what separates the faux finishing masters so take pride in your work!

Preparation

For the highest quality results, produce a couple mock-up sample boards on solid prepared pieces of MDF or drywall before starting work on your final project. Make sure you are absolutely satisfied with your results from these samples before continuing to the next step in your project.

Don't forget to check with the manufacturer of your plaster for their specific application instructions as methods and drying times may vary between different brands. You'll want to download and read their technical data sheet (TDS) to become proficient with each material.

Trowel Care

For best results every time, clean your trowel between use and check that your blade is free from scratches that may have occurred during a previous application. Some professionals choose to reserve one trowel for polishing and use a different one for the application in order to keep their trowel in perfect condition. If necessary, it may be possible to repair or refresh used blades by polishing up to it's original ultra-smooth condition so that you may continue to get many years of use.

How to choose the best trowel for high decoration?

We teach you to assess what you should look for to choose the right trowel for your effect. Without the right trowel it is impossible for your work to shine, not all trowels are for stucco.

We must differentiate between masonry or construction trowels and high decoration or finishing trowels. The difference is found in the degree of performance that these must have to obtain the perfect results that we need. The tool, especially in high decoration, must be perfect, since any imperfection will show up in the gloss or engraving. Here we give you some keys.

What shape should our stucco trowel have?

New Trapezoidal: it is the latest trend worldwide. It makes movement comfortable and its tips allow you to reach corners more easily.

Classic: It is the classic shape, comfortable because it accompanies the movement when we work with both hands and in all directions. Rectangular: Simpler and cheaper formula.

What degree of finish on your sheet should a professional stucco trowel have?

Beveled:  The blade must be perfectly sharp in its contour, in this way we will achieve mirror-like effects.

Rounded:  The tips must be rounded to prevent the edge from damaging the wall inadvertently.

Mirror polished:  although it is a simply aesthetic detail, a precision tool such as high decoration trowels must be mirror polished and you can see yourself reflected in them.

Serrated:  Especially recommended for dosing or for making old wood-like effects.

Tips trimmed to use: As in those of micro finishes, the tips can be trimmed to facilitate the dynamics of the movement when we work.
