Description

Optimized Relief Knife for Better Wall Contact

Take the hassle out of uneven wall installations with this back relief molding knife. By cutting a slight recess into the backside of trim, it improves fit and adhesion—especially valuable in rooms where wall flatness is less than ideal.

Purpose

  • Provides built-in flexibility by relieving pressure points along the back
  • Improves contact and reduces shadow lines where walls are bowed or rough
  • Offers better glue and adhesive contact during installation
  • Minimizes the need for filler to close wall or ceiling gaps

Common Usage

  • Baseboard Installation: Hugs the wall even when floors are uneven
  • Casings for Doors/Windows: Offers a better seal against old plaster walls
  • Chair Rail Details: Runs level over inconsistent drywall
  • Ceiling Trim Applications: Adjusts more easily in out-of-square corners
