If I were to “knick” my Premium Finishing Knife blade on a screw, can I sand this out with a piece of sandpaper or sanding sponge?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:36:51+06:00A very small spot can possibly be sanded out however our best advice is to carefully check your fasteners prior to coating with joint compound to avoid this problem.
Are these Premium Finishing Knives suitable to skim textured walls?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:36:10+06:00Yes. You can either apply the material manually with a paint roller or spray on then smooth out with the Premium Finishing Knives for an excellent finish.
Can I use these Premium Finishing Knives for finishing angles?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:35:14+06:00The smallest knife size offered is 7" and generally would be too large to finish angles however it works great when touching up angles after using the TapeTech Corner Finishing System.
Which Premium Finishing Knife works best with the automatic taper?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:34:11+06:00The 7" knife works best for wiping tape that is applied with the automatic taper. Use the optional extension handle (sold separately) when wiping ceiling joints which avoids the need for stilts or scaffolding.
Can I use these Premium Finishing Knives when doing a level five finish?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:33:30+06:00These knives work great with level five applications! The blade has more contact with the wall creating a superior finish. The larger size knives will cover more wall space in less time so you can finish faster.
If I have to use another knife to wipe the blade of the Premium Finishing Knife, doesn’t using these knives make me take longer to complete a job?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:32:47+06:00If you are using the knives to wipe down behind automatic taping and finishing tools, very little material is removed and a smaller knife can be used with a mud pan. If you are using the knives to finish by hand, using an additional small knife to wipe excess material will not require additional time to complete the job.
How do you use the the Premium Finishing Knives with a mud pan?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:32:10+06:00The smaller knives (7" - 18") can be used with a mud pan to both apply and wipe off excess material. To use these smaller size knives with a mud pan, simply pull the material out of the pan and apply. Cleaning or wiping the knives is easy! Wipe off the material edge of the knife on the inside of the mud pan. The larger knives (24"+) will generally not work well with mud pans as there are not many mud pans larger than 24" in size. For these sizes, you will need to clear your knife with another knife into your bucket or separate pan.
If I damage the blade on a Premium Finishing Knife, can I replace the part?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:31:08+06:00No, the blade cannot be replaced as it is manufactured into the handle grip.
Can I use the Premium Finishing Knives for Venetian plaster?
Cameron Moyer2022-05-04T04:30:19+06:00Yes, the 7" and 10" knives work well for Venetian Plaster applications. The ergonomic grip makes the application easy!
