Putty Knife Kubala 180 mm 0574 – stainless steel blade

Kubala putty knife with a 180 mm stainless steel blade is a hand tool designed for applying, spreading and removing filler materials and preparing surfaces before finishing. The rigid stainless blade provides resistance to corrosion and wear, making the tool suitable for repeated use in construction, renovation and painting tasks. The compact 180 mm width balances coverage and control for smoothing joint compounds, adhesives and sealants.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade resists rust and maintains edge integrity during scraping and smoothing operations. The 180 mm working width offers efficient coverage while allowing precise control along edges and corners. The tool's construction is durable for frequent on-site use and cleaning, and the blade geometry supports both spreading and scraping motions without excessive flex.

Suitable for

• Applying and smoothing putty, joint compound, and fillers
• Removing old putty, loose paint or sealant residues
• Surface preparation before painting, plastering or wallpapering
• Spreading adhesives and leveling small areas

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Blade width: 180 mm for medium coverage and control
• Blade type: rigid flat scraper/spreader suitable for scraping and smoothing
• Intended use: manual application and removal of fillers, putty and adhesives

How to use

Hold the putty knife by its handle and position the stainless steel blade at a shallow angle to the surface for spreading filler or compound. Apply even pressure while moving the blade to smooth material into joints or over repairs. For scraping, increase the blade angle slightly and use measured force to lift old putty or paint residues. After use, clean the blade with a cloth and appropriate solvent if necessary, then dry to avoid deposits; the stainless steel construction reduces but does not eliminate the need for routine cleaning and care.

Usage recommendations

Use the 180 mm putty knife for medium-width smoothing and scraping tasks where a corrosion-resistant blade is beneficial. Avoid prying on nails or using excessive leverage to prevent blade deformation. Store the tool dry and wipe the blade after use to maintain performance.
