OVERVIEW
Due to their lightweight design and ease of use, skimming blades are becoming an increasingly popular tool in the drywall finishing industry.
Premium quality LEVEL5 Aluminum-Body Skimming Blades come in a variety of lengths up to 48 inches and feature a flexible, high precision 0.3mm blade inserted into a rigid extruded aluminum blade housing. These tools are outstanding for smoothing out fresh drywall compound with even distribution and unprecedented sensitivity.
SUGGESTED USES
Available in eight lengths, there’s a LEVEL5 skimming blade for every drywall finishing job:
- 7-inch, 10-inch or 14-Inch blades are often used for bedding and wiping down drywall tape after it has been applied using an automatic taper or banjo.
- When finishing drywall joints or slightly wider areas, 16-Inch, 24-Inch or 32-Inch skimming blades are ideal and will get the job done faster than any other finishing knife or trowel.
- 40-Inch or 48-Inch skimming blades are perfect for smoothing compound evenly across large areas. Typical examples would include when you roll on and smooth out drywall joint compound to a level 5 finish, or when you are covering up textured ceilings and walls.
