What it does

4" Economy Series spreading tool in lightweight, flexible polypropylene. Meant to be tossed when the job is done. It spreads compound at tape-coat width but does not give a finisher's seam coat.

How to use it

  1. Use the 4" as the widest span that still steers with one hand. Keep the other hand for the board or the work.
  2. Mix on a clean, non-porous board and clean it between batches.
  3. Fold the material, do not whip it. Spread inside the working time.

Common questions

Can it fill nail holes?

In a pinch. The 1-1/2" and 2" widths fill better. Use this width to coat and spread.

Which kit carries the 4"?

The 05615 (2", 4", 6"). The 05610 is listed without it.

Why not use the 6" for everything?

Control. A 4" is easier to steer in bounded fields and curved work. Pick one step wider than the field.

Is it the body-filler spreader?

Hyde lists it for compounds and adhesives only. Mix per the sheet, and discard at cure.
