Pavan S.p.A. |
Pavan Trowel (www.pavanspa.it):
Kim Longo, Faux Villa Decorative Finishes Studio, says, "Trowels get to be like old friends. Once you get used to the feel of a trowel, it becomes part of what you can't go without. The particular Japanese trowel I used on the carpet project had a durable clear plastic blade which was ideal for the lighter colors of Skimstone so as not to create chatter marks. For small design areas, I use a Pavan trowel, an Italian-made stainless steel trowel formulated for Venetian and marble-based decorative finishes. It has rounded corners and polished radius edges."
