Product Information

Full details

The Toolzone Poly Plastering Float is a lightweight, durable tool designed for both professional plasterers and dedicated DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable implement for smoothing plaster and cement rendering. Its primary benefit is the combination of a rigid, non-absorbent polyurethane construction that ensures a consistent, smooth finish across various surfaces. While its large size provides excellent coverage, users should note that the rigid foam material requires consistent cleaning after use to prevent material buildup in the textured face.

FAQs

Is this float suitable for external rendering?

Yes, its durable polyurethane construction is well-suited for both internal plastering and external cement rendering.

Can I use this for screeding floors?

While it can be used for light screeding, the 350mm x 150mm size is primarily optimized for wall applications.

How do I ensure a smooth finish?

Maintain a consistent angle to the wall and apply light, even pressure, sweeping the tool across the surface without stopping mid-stroke.

Will the handle break off under pressure?

The float is built as a durable unit. As long as it is not subjected to extreme mechanical force, the handle is designed for professional use.

Can I sand the face if it gets damaged?

It is not recommended to sand the face, as the non-absorbent pattern is intentionally designed to facilitate the plastering process.

Troubleshooting

Plaster is sticking to the face of the float

Ensure the face is kept damp during use and clean it regularly with a sponge during the application process.

Hardened plaster residue on the surface

Gently scrub the surface with a soft nylon brush and water. Avoid using metal scrapers that could damage the foam.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue
  • Durable and warp-resistant material
  • Non-absorbent surface provides professional finishes
  • Large grip ensures better control

Cons

  • Requires immediate cleaning to prevent hardened buildup
  • Rigid surface may be less forgiving on contoured walls than foam alternatives
  • Foam can be damaged by sharp abrasive surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool requires no formal assembly; it is ready to use immediately. For best results, ensure the surface being worked on is properly prepped and cleaned of loose debris.

Care Instructions:

  • Immediate Cleaning: Always wash the float with water immediately after each use. If plaster or cement dries on the face, it can be difficult to remove without damaging the textured pattern.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid placing heavy objects on the face of the float, as this could indent the rigid foam.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with standard lime, gypsum, and cement-based renders. Not intended for use with acidic cleaning chemicals or strong solvents.
