Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Prestige Midget Plastering Trowel is an essential tool for professional plasterers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require precision in tight spaces or detail work. Its standout benefit is the pre-worn, stainless steel blade that allows for a smooth finish right out of the box, eliminating the traditional break-in period. However, users should note that the 200 x 75mm size is specifically intended for patching and small areas rather than large-scale wall coverage.

FAQs

Do I need to sand the edges before using this trowel?

No, the Faithfull Prestige Midget Trowel comes with pre-worn edges specifically designed to be ready for use out of the packaging.

Is this trowel suitable for large areas?

While you can use it for large areas, its 200 x 75mm size is optimized for patching and detail work. It will be inefficient for large wall or ceiling coverage compared to a standard 12-inch or 14-inch trowel.

What is the 10-year guarantee for?

The guarantee covers the trowel against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal, proper use.

Can this be used for cement-based renders?

While the stainless steel is durable, this trowel is primarily designed for finishing plasters. Harsh abrasive materials like heavy sand-based renders may wear down the edges prematurely.

Does the soft grip handle require special cleaning?

Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the soft-grip material.

Troubleshooting

Plaster is sticking to the blade during application

Ensure the blade is kept clean and slightly damp. A light misting of water on the blade can help plaster release more easily.

Blade feels less smooth after long-term use

Check the blade for any small nicks or dried plaster deposits. Clean the surface thoroughly and ensure the bevel is free from buildup.

Pros and Cons

  • Ready to use immediately without needing to wear in the blade
  • Sturdy stainless steel construction resists corrosion
  • Excellent ergonomic grip reduces wrist and hand strain
  • Compact size is perfect for detailed plastering or repairs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This trowel arrives ready to work immediately; no preparation of the blade edges is necessary. To ensure the longevity of the stainless steel blade, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Thoroughly wash the trowel with clean water immediately after use. Do not allow plaster to set on the blade as it can affect the smooth finish.
  2. Storage: Dry the tool completely before storing it in a toolbox to prevent moisture entrapment.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the rivets on the aluminium shank to ensure they remain tight. Avoid using the trowel for scraping hardened or dried plaster, as this can dull the pre-worn edge.
  4. Compatibility: This tool is compatible with all standard gypsum-based plasters and finishing compounds.
