What it does

6" Economy Series spreading tool in lightweight, flexible polypropylene. It is the widest blade in the line that steers with one hand. Made to be tossed when finished.

How to use it

  1. Keep to one hand. A second hand on the blade means too much material.
  2. Float the repair side and press the wall side, so the gradient blends.
  3. Use long strokes. At this width, stroke length levels the coat.

Common questions

If I buy one width, is it this one?

For spreading work, yes. For point filling, use the patch widths. For open-field coating, add the 8".

Can it make a drywall patch invisible?

It can make one unnoticed after primer. Under raking light you need a ground steel knife.

8" or 6" for a big coat?

8" on open wall. 6" around outlets, corners and curves. Only the 6" also blends.

Does it scrape ridges between coats?

No. Cured compound is harder than the edge. Sand or use a steel blade, then blend with this.
