The large joint spatula, Art. No. 12809, supports professional work on wide silicone and movement joints.
The large version is intended for joint areas where a compact spatula may not provide the required working size. It can be used to shape, profile and finish suitable silicone joints. A tool size that matches the joint is particularly useful when working on wider connection and movement joints.
The joint spatula is intended especially for professional tilers, sanitary installation companies, flooring contractors, construction companies and other trade users. According to the available information, it can also be used with suitable epoxy resin and cementitious joints. Its suitability depends on the joint width, material consistency and intended working stage.
Joint spatula as a large silicone profiling tool for movement joints
Wide silicone movement joints require controlled material application and consistent shaping. The joint spatula can be used as a large silicone profiling tool to finish freshly applied material within its permitted working time. The tool should be guided along the joint in one controlled and even movement.
Before use, the operator must check whether the shape and size of the joint spatula match the required profile. The silicone manufacturer’s instructions for substrate preparation, finishing and processing time must also be observed. No specific confirmed joint width is currently available for this product.
Joint spatula for suitable epoxy resin and cementitious joints
The joint spatula can also be used for appropriate epoxy resin and cementitious jointing applications. Depending on the material and workflow, it may support the distribution, shaping or finishing of the jointing compound. The large tool format must be compared with the joint dimensions and material consistency before work begins.
Epoxy resin and cementitious materials have different processing and curing times. Residues should therefore be removed according to the instructions supplied by the material manufacturer. Once the material has cured, cleaning the joint spatula may become considerably more difficult.
Joint spatula for efficient work on larger joint areas
The large joint spatula is a useful addition to professional tool selections used regularly on wide joints. Its larger format is particularly advantageous when more extensive joint areas need to be finished in a controlled working pass. The tool can be used during tiling, sanitary, flooring and interior finishing work.
After each application, the joint spatula should be cleaned according to the jointing material used. Timely cleaning is particularly important with reactive or fast-curing products. The cleaning process must be compatible with the silicone, epoxy resin or cementitious product and with the tool itself.
