Description

A taping knife or joint knife is a drywall tool with a wide blade for spreading joint compound, also known as "mud". It can be used to spread mud over nail and screw indents in new drywall applications and is also used when using paper or fiberglass drywall tape to cover seams. Starting in the middle of the newly taped joint, hold your taping knife at a 25 degree angle and pull the knife to one end of the joint, smoothing and pressing the tape firmly into the compound. Return to the centre point and repeat in the other direction. (This prevents the tape from pulling off the wall.) Features: Stainless Steel Blade prevents rusting and provides durability Smooth Zinc Alloy Cap for durability Blade Tapered from handle to tip provides flexibility Bi-Material Handle for comfort and protection Hang Hole in Handle for easy storage
