Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of this 12-inch Flexifit blade?

The main advantage is its 2mm thickness, which provides significant rigidity for applying initial plaster coats or render, offering a more traditional feel and control.

Do I need the Flexi Master Trowel to use this blade?

Yes, this blade is specifically designed for the Faithfull FAIPFLEXMAS Flexi Master Trowel and uses its Flexifit system for attachment.

Can this blade be used for fine finishing?

While it can be used for smoothing, its primary design is for rigidity in application. For extremely fine, delicate finishing on certain surfaces, a blade with a different backing might be preferred, but this blade can achieve smooth finishes with practice.

How do I clean the blade after use?

Clean the blade immediately after use with water to remove all plaster or render. A soft cloth or sponge is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads.

What is the warranty period for this blade?

Please refer to the Faithfull warranty information provided with your purchase or on the Faithfull website for specific warranty details, as accessory blades may have different coverage than the trowel handle.

Is the material prone to cracking?

The plastic is designed for durability in plastering applications. However, like all tools, it can be susceptible to cracking if subjected to excessive force, impact, or improper storage in extreme conditions.

Can I use this blade with different brands of trowel handles?

No, this blade is exclusively compatible with the Faithfull Flexi Master Trowel system (FAIPFLEXMAS) due to its proprietary Flexifit attachment mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Blade does not attach securely to the trowel handle.

Ensure the Flexifit system on both the blade and the handle are clean and free from debris. Check that the blade is correctly aligned with the receiving slots on the handle and pushed firmly until it clicks into place.

Plaster or render is sticking unevenly to the blade.

Clean the blade thoroughly. Ensure the plaster mix consistency is appropriate for the task. For very sticky mixes, a slightly damp cloth can sometimes help maintain a smoother release.

Blade shows signs of excessive wear or damage.

Inspect the blade for cracks or deep gouges. Plastic blades can wear down over time. If significant damage is present, replace the blade to ensure consistent performance and safety.
