Full details

This Barnwell Plasterers Flexible Rubber Wipe Down Corner Joint Blade (MPN 96598) is designed for professional plasterers seeking an efficient tool for cleaning excess mud and taping internal corners. Its key benefit is the flexible rubber blade that conforms to various angles, making difficult-to-reach areas manageable. A potential caveat is its specific design for internal angles between 60-70 degrees, which may limit its use on other corner types.

Troubleshooting

Blade not cleaning effectively

Ensure the blade is clean and free of dried mud. Check that the corner angle is within the 60-70 degree range. Apply consistent, moderate pressure.

Tool feels flimsy when extended

Verify that a sturdy 1" diameter handle is being used and that it is securely attached to the shaft. Ensure the handle itself is not damaged.

Rubber blade showing premature wear

Reduce excessive force during use. Ensure the tool is properly cleaned and stored to protect the rubber edge. Consider replacing the blade if wear is significant.
