When performing facade work, it is important not only to use high-quality construction and finishing materials, but also to the tool to which they will be applied to the walls of the building. One of these tools is a facade spatula, which the following tips will help correctly.
Firstly, a facade spatula must be made of stainless steel, which will ensure its long work. A spatula that is made of ordinary metal with a mirror coating, forged under a stainless steel, will quickly become unusable due to the destruction of the surface layer and rust. Typically, such techniques are used by unscrupulous sellers trying to sell low -quality goods at a higher price. A protective lubricant, which is applied to a private metal spatula, will help to distinguish a fake from a real stainless spatula. Remember that a stainless steel spatula does not contain any protective lubricants on its surface.
Secondly, a facade spatula must have a massive handle, and its blade should be elastic. The presence of a massive handle is due to a large mass of finishing mixtures that will be applied with its help. Particular attention should be paid to the mounting of the handle with the blade. Only reliable fastening will provide the possibility of prolonged use of a spatula.
Thirdly, it is worth choosing a facade spatula in which the handle is located at an angle with respect to the blade. This arrangement of the handle will facilitate the implementation of facade work.
And finally, depending on the volume of facade work, the facade spatula should be selected with a width of the blade from 200 to 400 mm.
