Faithfull Flex Finishing Trowel - Cork Handle 275mm (11in)

The blade is made from a high-grade stainless steel that has been engineered to have a slight, controlled flexibility. This allows it to conform to slight surface irregularities and contribute to a smoother finish without digging in.

Yes, the pre-worn edges replicate the feel of a trowel that has been used extensively. This means the leading edge is less likely to dig into the plaster, making the trowel easier to use for beginners and ensuring a smooth finish from the very first application.

Wipe the cork handle with a damp cloth to clean it. Avoid soaking the handle in water. Ensure it is dried properly after cleaning. The cork is naturally water-repellent and shock-resistant.

While it can be used for initial plaster application, this trowel is primarily designed for finishing coats due to its flex and pre-worn edges, which are optimized for achieving a smooth, final surface.

Faithfull Tools products, including this trowel, are manufactured to high standards and are covered by a 5-year guarantee.

Yes, the trowel is ambidextrous. The ergonomic handle and blade design are suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users.

Ensure the blade is clean and free from dried plaster. Check for any debris lodged on the pre-worn edges. Verify consistent pressure and angle during application.

Adjust your grip on the cork handle. Ensure you are using the correct trowel size for the task. Take short breaks during prolonged use.

This is rare with stainless steel but can occur if left wet. Gently polish the affected area with a fine-grit abrasive pad or steel wool, then clean and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of tool oil for protection.
