How to use

Before use, ensure the surface is clean and free of loose debris. Load a small amount of putty or filler onto the blade edge and apply to the repair area using firm, even strokes to distribute the material. Hold the putty knife at a shallow angle for smoothing and at a steeper angle for scraping off old paint or excess compound. Work in sections and remove excess material from the blade periodically with a cloth to maintain clean edges. Allow filler to dry and sand as required before finishing.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the Proline 60 mm putty knife for precise interior repairs and touch-ups. Choose a slightly more flexible or stiffer tool depending on the consistency of the filler: flexible blades help produce smoother finishes with softer compounds, while stiffer blades are better for heavier materials and scraping tasks. Clean the blade after each use to prevent curing of materials and to maintain a smooth working edge.
