It belongs to the basic equipment of every decorative coating applicator — without it you will not start the job, but with it the work becomes faster, cleaner, and more precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trowel is made of stainless steel with a solid, polished blade 80 mm wide. The ergonomic two-component handle with a soft grip area fits comfortably in the hand even during prolonged work and reduces wrist fatigue. The trapezoidal blade shape with a rounded tip allows convenient material pickup even from the corners and bottom of the bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the stainless steel trowel 80mm is used for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary purpose is \u003cstrong\u003eloading coating material onto the finishing float\u003c\/strong\u003e. In practice, the applicator holds a large stainless steel float in one hand and with the other hand uses the trowel to transfer material from the bucket directly onto the working edge of the float. This procedure is faster and cleaner than picking up material with the float itself, and most importantly it prevents contamination of the float edges, which would otherwise leave marks on the already coated surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80mm trowel is suitable for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoading microcement coating\u003c\/strong\u003e during application to walls, floors, and wet rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking with limewash\u003c\/strong\u003e and lime paints when preparing and pouring the paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplying filler\u003c\/strong\u003e and repairing smaller areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking with adhesives and grouts\u003c\/strong\u003e on a smaller scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail work in corners\u003c\/strong\u003e, around door frames, and around penetrations where a larger float cannot reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80 mm size is universal — large enough for efficient loading, yet small enough to work with in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical parameters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade material:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel, polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e trapezoidal with a rounded tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e ergonomic two-component with a soft grip area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e interior and exterior, wet rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn stock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Czech Republic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e within 14 days across Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use the stainless steel trowel 80mm correctly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct loading technique significantly speeds up the work and saves material.
