This Refina Superflex-3 plastering trowel is designed for professional plasterers seeking a unique balance of flexibility and rigidity for multi-finish and board-finish applications. Its key benefit is the even pressure distribution across the blade, enabling a consistent, excellent finish throughout the plastering process. A potential caveat is that it is currently available for pre-order with an estimated mid-May availability.

The Refina Superflex-3 is specifically designed for multi-finish and board-finish plasters, offering an intermediate flexibility that works well with these materials.
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.
Clean the blade with water immediately after use to remove all plaster residue. Dry the blade thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
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.
Radiused corners help prevent the trowel from digging into the plaster at the edges, contributing to a smoother, more even finish without accidental marks.
The product information indicates it is 'AVAILABLE FOR PRE ORDER MID MAY'.
The handle is made of a grey soft-touch composite rubber, designed for a slip-resistant grip and comfort during use.
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.
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.
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.
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.
