FAQs

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes four spreader sizes: 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm.

Are these spreaders suitable for professional use?

Yes, they are designed with features like durable stainless steel blades and comfortable, solvent-resistant handles, making them suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.

Can I use these with automotive body filler?

Yes, these spreaders are versatile and suitable for automotive repair work, including the application and finishing of body fillers.

What is the benefit of the flexible blades?

The flexible stainless steel blades allow the spreader to conform to slightly uneven surfaces, helping to apply filler smoothly and evenly, and reducing the need for extensive post-application sanding.

How should I clean the spreaders after use?

Clean the blades immediately after each use with a damp cloth or a solvent safe for the filler you used. Ensure they are dried thoroughly before storing.

What makes the handles easier to grip?

The handles are wide and feature a soft-grip design, providing a firm grip and aiding in applying even pressure across the blade for a smoother finish. They are also solvent-resistant.

Can these be used for painting or scraping?

While primarily designed for applying and finishing fillers, their versatile nature and flexible blades may allow for some light scraping or spreading of other compounds, though their primary function is for fillers.

Troubleshooting

Filler sticking to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before and after use. For stubborn residue, use a mild solvent appropriate for the filler type and wipe clean.

Uneven filler application

Apply consistent pressure with the wide handle. Ensure the blade is flexible enough for the surface contour. For very stiff fillers, a stiffer blade might be needed, or a lighter touch.

Handle feels uncomfortable

Adjust your grip; the wide handle is designed for multiple grip styles. Ensure hands are clean and dry for maximum grip.

Blade shows signs of rust

Clean the blade immediately with a soft cloth and a light abrasive cleaner if necessary. Ensure the blade is dried thoroughly after each use and store in a dry place.
