Rust Oleum 95012 Flexible Smoothing Assorted Review

I am a professional upholsterer in Australia, originally from the UK and believe this product could be the preferred installation tool for professional upholsterers. I rarely use a brush these days, except for some flock wallpaper.

This is not the product I ordered. Yes, technically it can do the same job as the original tool, but if I wanted something similar I'd buy it instead. I'm concerned that metal will be much stiffer than plastic. At least it wasn't expensive but I'm not happy I didn't get the item I thought I ordered.

Bought this along with House & Home Restore, Wallpaper Seam Repair, 5oz, Clear + Red Devil EZ Roll-up Tube to rewallpaper my house Me was about to enter the market. I was glad I had this tool because it helped me paste the wallpaper smoothly and evenly. Of course it cost a few bucks for the project and it will come in handy for other jobs in the future.

I'm new to DIY but I'm renovating my office and wanted to wallpaper. I found this product online and decided to try it to get rid of bubbles and wrinkles in my wallpaper after hanging it. Works perfectly. Really affordable and gets the job done with no hassles. Something I will definitely hold onto.

As a teacher I used A LOT of contact paper. The part I struggle with the most is a smooth, bubble-free application. I used a wooden ruler but decided to give this device a try in my latest endeavor. It's considered the most efficient tool for the job - along with the extraction knife I bought to go with it. Smooth and perfect application every time with ease! Believe me you need it!

Very nice rounded edges on this smoothing tool. It looks like a spatula, but the material isn't that flimsy. So it's great for smoothing wallpaper without damaging it. You can pop the bubbles and press on the wallpaper. I use it in combination with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and don't need any other smoothing tools. I don't use it as a guide to cutting wallpaper. That's where you want to move on to something with a metal edge. But for everything else it works great.

The first time I used this was for a desktop project I saw on Pinterest, at first I wasn't sure how it would turn out as the paper was moving everywhere but once I put the tool on one edge and started moving up, the paper stayed in place and started to curl smoothly. One thing that was notable about this tool was that it didn't have that horrible smell that my other tool from my local hardware store had, so it felt safer in a way.

I decided to take a chance and do some DIY projects with contact paper. After researching, reading, and watching many YouTube videos, I realized I would need a smoothing tool (a credit card would be too small for the areas I'm going to cover). It worked great! I recommend using a soft towel when smoothing out your paper. I seemed to have small imperfections like scratches but nothing major or noticeable and they seemed to buff off when I used a soft towel. But I used white marbled contact paper

I ordered this "smoothing" tool because I had a "peel and paste" wallpapering project. A project I've never tried before! Good. I made a good choice! This little tool was the perfect helper to complete my project. Easy to keep and easy to use to get the engagement I need to complete this project. Completely smooth so you don't have to worry about the wallpaper being scratched or ripped. After doing my job and using my hand and this smoothing tool to completely smooth the paper to the wall, I…
