Topex plastering float with dense sponge 260×130 mm, model 13A336

The Topex plastering float with dense sponge 260×130 mm (model 13A336) is a hand tool for smoothing and finishing plaster, render and cement surfaces. The dense sponge attached to a 260×130 mm base provides controlled absorption of excess water and material while allowing even distribution of finishing coats. This float is designed for both indoor and outdoor masonry work, renovation and repair tasks where uniform surface texture and controlled moisture application are required.

Advantages

The dense sponge surface helps to remove surface irregularities and excess material without scratching the substrate, enabling a consistent finish. Its medium-sized 260×130 mm working area balances reach and maneuverability, making it suitable for both broad surfaces and detail work. The construction is intended for repeated wet use and provides controlled water release during smoothing and levelling operations.

Suitable for

• Smoothing and finishing plaster and render
• Applying finishing or wetting coats
• Evening out cement screeds and repair patches
• Indoor and outdoor wall and ceiling surfaces

Key specifications

• Working surface dimensions: 260 × 130 mm
• Sponge type: dense, absorbent finish sponge
• Primary function: smoothing, finishing, water distribution
• Intended use: plaster, render, cement-based surfaces

How to use

Before use, moisten the sponge lightly to ensure even water release during finishing. Hold the float with a firm, comfortable grip and move it over the plastered surface using long, even strokes to level material and remove excess. For edges and corners, use controlled, shorter passes. Rinse the sponge periodically to prevent buildup of dried plaster and to maintain consistent absorption. After finishing, allow the surface to cure according to material recommendations.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the float on surfaces that are already roughly leveled and still slightly workable; avoid aggressive pressure which can remove too much material. Regular cleaning after each use prolongs the sponge life and preserves consistent performance.
