Skimming Blade Size Guide

Every PLONIC blade is 0.5 mm precision-ground stainless steel in a rigid aluminum housing with a replaceable insert. The right width depends on the surface you're finishing — match the blade to the job below.

Blade size comparison

Sets & kits bundle several sizes with a telescopic pole, and replacement inserts are available for every width.

Which size should I start with?

Homeowner / DIY

Start with the 16" for versatile home repairs, or the 24" if you're skimming whole walls. These two give the best balance of control and coverage while you're still building technique. Shop 16" blades →

Residential contractor

The 24" is your primary blade. Add a 16" for detail work and a 32" for bigger rooms — that three-blade setup covers most residential finishing. See the 3-Piece Set →

Commercial finisher

Run a 32" and 40" for maximum coverage per pass, and keep a 24" for standard work and a 16" for detail. The 6-Piece Kit covers all of it in one box. See the 6-Piece Kit →

Stainless, Professional or Round-Grip?

Stainless Blades (classic red) — 0.5 mm stainless insert, rigid aluminum housing, ergonomic Z-grip; 16", 24", 32", 40" and in every set.
