What it does

3" Economy Series spreading tool in lightweight, flexible polypropylene. It cannot scrape cured material. It is meant to be tossed when the job is finished.

How to use it

  1. Hold the blade steep for a thick film and shallow for a thin one.
  2. Use two crossing strokes. They show coverage flaws while the material is wet.
  3. Read the sheen under a raking glance. Dull means too thin.

Common questions

Flat or notched for spreading adhesive?

If the pail names a notch size, use the notched 05532 or 05534. If it says to apply a thin, even coat, use this blade.

Can it finish a drywall seam?

It can coat one but not finish one to disappear. Level work needs a ground steel blade.

Which kit includes the 3"?

The 05610 (1-1/2", 3", 6"). The 05615 skips this width.

Can it fill nail holes?

Not well. Use the 1-1/2" or 2". This width is for coating and spreading.
