MPN: CB56

Overview:

Lightweight Polyurethane Plastering Float 140mm x 280mm (CB56) a durable, easy-handling float designed for rubbing up and levelling plaster, cement and other building materials. Made from rigid polyurethane foam, it’s lightweight for reduced fatigue during longer jobs, while still offering the stiffness needed for consistent pressure and a clean finish. The patterned, non-absorbent face won’t soak up water or material, helping it glide smoothly and making it quick to rinse clean after use. For added versatility, it can also be adapted for scratching or “keying” base coats by carefully pushing a plasterboard nail through the float to create a simple scratch face for improved adhesion of the next coat.
