Why use Sprung steel body filler applicators. Set of 4 different sizes. 25, 50, 75 &100mm
|
|
A set of sprung steel body filler applicators provides precision, flexibility, and control when applying body fillers, putties, and finishing compounds during vehicle repair and surface restoration.
|
|
Sprung steel refers to the applicators being made from thin, flexible, high-tensile steel, allowing them to bend slightly under pressure. This flex helps the applicator smooth the filler evenly, follow curves and contours accurately, and minimize air pockets or ridges in the material.
|
|
Having a set with four different sizes — 25mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm — ensures you have the right width for every task:
|
|
25mm: Ideal for fine detail work, tight spaces, or small dings and scratches.
|
|
50mm: Great for medium spot repairs or minor dents.
|
|
75mm: Suitable for larger surface areas, such as blending repairs on panels.
|
|
100mm: Best for broad smoothing over large panels like doors, hoods, or quarter panels.
|
|
The variation in sizes improves both efficiency and finish quality, enabling the user to apply filler precisely where needed with minimal sanding afterward.
|
|
Additionally, sprung steel applicators are easy to clean, durable, and reusable, making them a reliable tool for professional body shops and serious DIY restorers alike.
