Available in 2" and 3" widths, the nail spotter and the EasyClean Nail Spotter fills nail and screw head depressions with joint compound. Each row of dimples can be filled in one pass with a nail spotter. Walls and ceilings may be done while working from the floor.
Use the pump with the box and slot adapter to fill the nail spotter, making sure the joint compound is well mixed and lump free. Normally, no water needs to be added to thin the compound mixture.
Make positive contact with the wallboard surface at the beginning of the row. Draw the tool smoothly along the entire row, applying moderate pressure to force the compound onto the wallboard surface. The nail spotter blade skims off excess compound and leaves a slight crown directly over each dimple as the tool floats along the rocking skid. After passing over the last dimple, gradually break contact with the surface using a sweeping motion. This will give you properly filled dimples without leaving excess compound to be removed by hand.
Maintenance
Although the nail spotter blade is precision ground and specially hardened, it can be chipped by an exposed nail or screw head or become worn from use. To replace the blade, unscrew the thumb nuts on the top of the blade clamp, lift off the used blade and replace it. Be certain to press the blade firmly against the middle support while tightening the thumb nuts. The middle of the blade should be slightly lower than the ends to leave a slight center crown over the nail or screw.
Clean thoroughly, after every use, with a brush and water (or a water hose). With the specially designed EasyClean Nail Spotter, lift up the release on the back of the tool, pull the pressure plate open and wash. Pay close attention that all joint compound is removed. Complete the clean-up by lightly oiling .
