1. A skimming tool for smoothing and levelling wet finish coat plaster applied to a surface, comprising:
a plaster engaging blade comprising an elongate generally rectangular, flat, flexible, elastomeric web having a proximal edge portion and a distal edge portion, and an enlarged section at the proximal edge portion of the web; and an elongate, substantially rigid handle configured to connect to the plaster engaging blade, wherein the handle is adapted to be gripped by a user at any point along a length of the handle, wherein the handle defines a recess extending along the length of the handle, and wherein the recess comprises a channel and an enlarged section, the channel having a first height adjacent the enlarged section and the enlarged section having a second height greater than the first height; wherein, when the handle is connected to the plaster engaging blade:
the enlarged section of the plaster engaging blade is received in the enlarged section of the recess in the handle with a slack fit that permits sliding movement of the plaster engaging blade in a direction parallel to a length of the recess but prevents movement of the plaster engaging blade in a direction perpendicular to the length of the recess;the proximal edge portion of the web is received in the channel; andthe web extends outwardly from the handle and the distal edge portion of the web is spaced apart from the handle. |
