Why Add NELA to Your Toolbox?
Plastering isn’t a job for just any old tool. You need the kind of gear that can keep up with your pace and actually help you finish a job to the high standard you’re known for. Here’s why the NELA Black Edition is the right choice for you:
- Tough Enough for the Job
NELA tools are premium, made to last longer than your average products, proving great value for money. We’re talking high quality materials that handle everything from heavy-duty plaster to those tricky little corners without giving up halfway through.
- Smooth Finish, Every Time
NELA’s precision engineering helps you get a smooth, clean finish. Whether it’s a large surface area on a wall or sharp edges on your corners, these tools don’t miss a beat.
- Lightweight, Heavy Duty
Plastering all day can leave your arms aching, but NELA’s Black Edition is lightweight and comfortable to use for hours on end. These tools won’t wear you out mid-job, leaving you free to focus on the task (and not your aching wrists).
- No-Nonsense Performance
When you pick up a NELA tool, you know it’s going to do the job right. These tools are built specifically for the trade.
NELA Application Tips
We know you’re here to get the best out of your NELA tools, so here are some pro tips you won’t find elsewhere:
- Trowel Tip: Master the Glide
To keep the NELA trowels gliding smoothly, make sure you’re using the right angle. For a super smooth finish, hold your trowel at around a 20-degree angle. Too steep and you’ll risk leaving marks. Too flat and you’ll lose control.
- Spatula Tip: Precision for Tight Spots
NELA’s spatulas are built to handle the fine details. To avoid unnecessary mess, always use a light touch, especially when working around window frames or ceiling joints. This allows for cleaner lines and ensures you don’t accidentally scrape the plaster off the wall.
- Corner Trowel Tip: The Right Pressure
When using corner trowels, don’t force them into tight spaces. Let the tool work for you. Press lightly and let the flexible blade follow the contour of the corner. Over-pressing can lead to uneven plaster distribution, so let the edge do the work for you.
- Sponge Float Tips: The Final Touch
NELA’s sponge floats are perfect for that final smooth finish on your walls or ceilings. Here’s a pro tip: keep the sponge float slightly damp, but not soaked. Excess water will make your plaster too soft, but a damp sponge will help smooth out the surface without disturbing the finish you’ve worked so hard to create.
- Cleaning NELA Tools
After a long day of plastering, don’t just toss your tools aside. Proper maintenance is key to keeping your NELA tools in prime condition. After each use, clean your trowels and spatulas with a damp cloth to remove excess plaster. Let them dry naturally and store them in a cool, dry place to prevent rust or damage to the edges.
