When to Use:

- A stainless steel blade, with soft grip handle recommended for spreading
jointing compound over jointing tapes, nails and screw indents in drywall
applications.

Fig 1:
The image above shows a Taping Knife being used in conjunction with a plastic mud pan.
It is recommended to only fill the mud pan up
to about halfway as mud pans tend to get
heavy and will only make the task at hand
more difficult if they are filled right to the top.

Fig 2:
The Taping Knife in this example is being
slid across the wall to drag across the
rendering compound. It is advised to avoid
using to much compound as cracks are
likely to form once it has dried.
