Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull Flexifit Trowel with Foam is an essential tool for professional plasterers and DIY enthusiasts who require precision and adaptability when working on wall or ceiling finishes. Its core benefit is the unique 10mm foam backing combined with a 1mm plastic blade, which allows for superior flexibility and uniform pressure application during smoothing. While this system offers exceptional performance for finishing tasks, it is important to note that the blades are designed for use specifically with the FAIPFLEXMAS Flexi Master Trowel system and are not intended for heavy-duty material removal or mixing.

FAQs
Can I use this blade with a standard trowel handle?
No, these blades are specifically engineered to mount to the FAIPFLEXMAS Flexi Master Trowel system.
Is the blade replaceable?
Yes, the blades are designed as a modular system, allowing you to swap them out as they wear down or when you need a fresh edge.
What is the primary benefit of the foam backing?
The 10mm foam backing provides the necessary flexibility to allow the 1mm blade to follow the contour of the wall, preventing flat spots.
Can I use this for mixing plaster?
No, this tool is designed for the application and smoothing of plaster, not for mixing heavy compounds.
How do I choose between the square and rounded edges?
Use the square edge for cutting into corners and tight spaces, and the rounded edge for smooth, feathered finishes on flat surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels loose in the handle
Check the connection points on the Flexi Master Trowel for built-up dried plaster and ensure the blade is fully clicked into the locking mechanism.
Uneven finish on the wall
Ensure that the foam backing is not compressed or damaged. Verify that the pressure is being applied evenly across the center of the trowel rather than the edges.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent flexibility for achieving smooth plaster finishes
- Lightweight design minimizes repetitive strain during overhead work
- Versatile edge options for corners and flat surfaces
- Simple, tool-free blade swapping system
Cons
- Requires the specific FAIPFLEXMAS Flexi Master Trowel handle
- Not suitable for heavy-duty mortar or concrete work
- Plastic material may wear faster than traditional steel blades
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the system, ensure you have the FAIPFLEXMAS Flexi Master Trowel handle. Simply align the grooves of the 12-inch Flexifit blade with the Master Trowel receiver and press firmly to lock it into place.
Care instructions:
- Always clean the blade immediately after use to prevent plaster from hardening on the plastic surface.
- Use a soft brush or damp cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that could scratch the plastic.
- Store blades flat or hanging to prevent the foam backing from deforming over time.
- Regularly inspect the foam backing for signs of perishing or loss of adhesion.
