Ramboo Plastering Scratcher with Plastic Handle

Ramboo Plastering Scratcher with Plastic Handle

The Ramboo Plastering Scratcher with Plastic Handle is a scarifier tool for keying the first coat of plaster or render before the second or finishing coat. Because the seven steel prongs scratch the surface, they create a mechanical key that improves adhesion between coats. As a result, it is a standard preparation tool for two-coat plastering and rendering work.

Key Features

• Seven steel prongs — scratch the first coat surface to create a mechanical key for the second coat.
• Lightweight plastic handle — comfortable for repetitive scratching work.
• Standard scarifier design — used in sand and cement and gypsum plastering systems.
• Product code: R20200

When to Use It

Scratch the first coat while it is still green — firm enough to hold its shape but not fully set. In particular, avoid scratching when the coat is too wet as it will smear rather than key. As a guide, scratch when the surface no longer marks under light finger pressure but still has some give.
