FAQs

What materials can these knives be used with?

These knives are suitable for use with a variety of common fillers, putties, joint compounds, and adhesives used in DIY and professional decorating.

How do I clean the knives after use?

Wipe the blades clean with a damp cloth immediately after use. For dried-on material, use a mild detergent and rinse, then dry thoroughly.

Can these knives be used for scraping or painting?

While they can perform light scraping, they are primarily designed for filling and finishing. They are not intended for heavy-duty scraping or applying paint.

What is the advantage of having four different blade sizes?

The different blade sizes (50mm, 80mm, 100mm, 120mm) provide versatility, allowing you to select the most appropriate knife for the size of the area you are filling, from small repairs to larger surfaces.

Are the wooden handles durable?

The wooden handles are designed for a comfortable and secure grip. Like all wooden handles, they should be kept dry and may benefit from occasional conditioning to prevent drying or cracking with prolonged exposure to varying conditions.

How should I store these knives?

Store the knives in a dry place. A tool roll or separate compartments in a toolbox are ideal to protect the blades and handles.

Troubleshooting

Filler sticks to the blade excessively

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before use. For some sticky materials, a very light application of a non-stick spray (ensure it's compatible with your filler) might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Uneven application of filler

Check that the blade is flat against the surface. Ensure the filler is mixed to the correct consistency. Use smoother, more controlled strokes.

Rust spots appearing on the blade

Clean the blade thoroughly and dry it immediately. Apply a light coat of tool oil or WD-40 to the blade and wipe off excess. Store in a dry environment.
