How to use

Load the taping knife with an appropriate amount of joint compound on the blade edge. Hold the comfortable handle and use even pressure to spread compound over seams or damaged areas. For best results, apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry before sanding or applying the next layer. Clean the stainless steel blade after use to prevent compound build-up.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, store the taping knife dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Use the 18 (T5172 18) size for standard seam and repair work; choose a wider or narrower model if your project requires different coverage.
