Stainless Steel Perforated Paca EPM E-323-0383 380×130 mm, toothed 8×8

The EPM stainless steel perforated paca E-323-0383 (380×130 mm, toothed 8×8) is a handheld finishing tool designed for smoothing, distributing and texturing plaster, render and adhesive mortars. Constructed from stainless steel, the plate resists corrosion and maintains a flat working surface. The perforated face and toothed edge provide controlled removal of excess material and consistent mortar thickness, improving the uniformity of applied layers during construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction ensures durability and resistance to rust, making the tool suitable for repeated use on wet materials. The perforations reduce suction and help achieve an even bond between mortar and substrate. A toothed 8×8 edge allows precise dosing of adhesive or leveling compounds and creates a regular profile for tiling or render keying. Its handheld size (380×130 mm) balances coverage and maneuverability for both large surfaces and detail work.

Suitable for

• Smoothing and levelling plaster and render
• Applying and combing tile adhesive or thinset
• Creating textured finishes or keys for subsequent layers
• General finishing and renovation work on walls and façades

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel plate for corrosion resistance
• Plate dimensions: approximately 380 × 130 mm
• Edge type: toothed comb edge with 8 × 8 mm tooth pattern
• Face: perforated to reduce suction and assist mortar transfer
• Form factor: handheld finishing paca suitable for manual operation

How to use

Prepare the substrate and mix the plaster, render or adhesive according to manufacturer instructions. Apply a bed of material onto the surface and use the perforated paca to spread and level by pushing or pulling across the area, keeping the toothed edge at the correct angle to create the required mortar thickness. For adhesive work, comb the surface with the toothed edge to produce uniform ridges; use the flat face to smooth or flatten after initial application if needed. Clean the tool after use to prevent material buildup and to preserve the stainless steel surface.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves when working with cement-based materials and select an 8×8 tooth pattern to match the recommended adhesive or mortar layer thickness. Store the stainless steel paca in a dry place after cleaning to maintain its flatness and performance.
