What is the benefit of the semi-flexible blade?

Troubleshooting

Plaster is sticking to the blade.

Clean the blade thoroughly with a damp cloth. Ensure the blade is clean and free of debris before use. Consider using a blade lubricant.

Ensure the plaster is at the correct consistency. Apply even pressure and maintain a consistent angle while skimming. Practice and adjustment may be needed.
