Common questions
What does wipe-down mean?
Chasing squeeze-out and excess compound off a fresh tape coat before it cures. This knife runs that pass overhead from a pole.
Does it fit any extension pole?
Yes. It has a standard Acme thread, the same as roller frames.
Can I apply compound with it?
Yes, to high ceilings, and it also smooths. It is a finish tool, not a heavy loader.
Why the 6" and not the 8" or 10"?
For tight and broken overhead work such as stairwells, soffits and spaces between fixtures, where a wider blade will not sit flat.
