Description
The Dunlop Sponge Float is a high-quality finishing float built to produce the classic sponge-finished render surface. Its clever design pairs a sponge face with a perforated aluminium backing plate that allows water to transfer through the back of the float, keeping the sponge working wet so it glides across the render and lifts a fine, even texture rather than tearing the surface.
Where to use it
Use the sponge float in the final stage of rendering, once the render has firmed enough to be rubbed up. Worked in light circular motions with clean water, it evens out the surface and produces the uniform sponge texture popular on rendered exterior walls. It suits professional renderers chasing a consistent finish as well as DIY users rendering fences, feature walls and home exteriors.

Care
Rinse the sponge thoroughly after every session so render particles do not cure inside it, and flush the perforated plate clear at the same time. Squeeze out excess water, let the float air-dry sponge-side up, and store it away from sunlight to stop the sponge hardening or crumbling.
