Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of plaster is this trowel best suited for?

The Refina Superflex-3 is specifically designed for multi-finish and board-finish plasters, offering an intermediate flexibility that works well with these materials.

What makes the 'Rose Gold' blade unique?

The 'Rose Gold' designation refers to a unique stainless steel alloy used for the 0.5mm gauge blade. This alloy provides a specific balance of flexibility and rigidity, contributing to its consistent pressure application.

How do I clean the trowel after use?

Clean the blade with water immediately after use to remove all plaster residue. Dry the blade thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this trowel suitable for beginners?

While suitable for all skill levels, its specific flexibility might require some practice for those accustomed to very soft or very stiff trowels. It is generally considered a specialist tool for professionals seeking a specific finish.

What is the benefit of the radiused corners?

Radiused corners help prevent the trowel from digging into the plaster at the edges, contributing to a smoother, more even finish without accidental marks.

When will the 16" Refina Superflex 3 Rose Gold be available?

The product information indicates it is 'AVAILABLE FOR PRE ORDER MID MAY'.

What is the handle made of?

The handle is made of a grey soft-touch composite rubber, designed for a slip-resistant grip and comfort during use.

Troubleshooting

Uneven plaster application

Ensure the blade is clean and free of dried plaster. Check that pressure is being applied evenly across the entire blade surface by adjusting your grip and angle.

Blade feels too flexible or too stiff

This trowel is designed for intermediate flexibility. If it feels too soft, ensure you are not applying excessive force. If it feels too stiff, ensure you are not expecting the extreme flex of a different type of trowel. Familiarize yourself with its unique characteristics through practice.

Handle becoming slippery

Ensure your hands and the handle are clean and dry. The composite rubber is designed for grip, but excessive moisture or dust can reduce its effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides an excellent, even finish due to consistent pressure.
  • Offers a unique, slightly stiffer flexibility suitable for detailed work.
  • Comfortable and secure grip with the soft-touch composite handle.
  • Durable construction with German-made quality.
  • Versatile for various stages of plastering.

Cons

  • Currently available for pre-order with a future availability date.
  • The specific flexibility may require a slight adjustment for users accustomed to very soft or very stiff trowels.
  • May be considered a specialist tool, potentially less versatile for general-purpose tasks compared to a standard trowel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This trowel requires no specific setup beyond initial cleaning. It is designed to be compatible with all standard plastering materials, including multi-finish and board-finish plasters. To care for your Refina Superflex-3 trowel, clean the blade thoroughly with water immediately after each use to prevent plaster from drying and hardening on the surface. Use a soft cloth to dry the blade and handle. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the unique stainless steel finish and the composite handle. Store the trowel in a dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a protective sleeve, to maintain its condition.
