Flexible tools for
FILLING & SANDING

Filling & Sanding in general
„Fairing a curve is one of the hardest things to
do when prepping for a new paint job. “

„It's by far, the hardest and most time
consuming element of boat restoration and the
learning curve is steep.“

About us
Flexicat fairing tools have brought the pain of
fairing a perfect curve and flat surfaces within
reach of just about anyone.

Both concave and convex surfaces are equally
attainable with the same tools and the result is a
near perfect surface after a single application of
fairing filler.

Application
When fairing a curved surface, the application of
the fairing filler often gets overlooked.
The old stand-by is to use plastic spreaders to apply
the filler using your hands and eyes to figure out
the proper amount and placement of the filler.
The next step is to sand the surface using a flexible
fairing board to sand the surface fair.
In this scenario, it is the fairing board that does
the lion's share of the work.

The tools are identical except for the hook and loop
surface on the sanding tool. The construction of the
tools are unique to the industry.

It's basically a flexible surface with a handle at each
end to “drive” the tool.

When conforming the traditional long board to a
curved surface, uneven pressure is put at the ends
of the tool. This creates an imperfect surface.
In other words, if you're sanding the side of a
curved hull with a long board, when you look at the
sandpaper you've been using, you'll see that it's
clogged up at each end, but the middle portion of
the paper is pretty clean. That's because the
pressure is directly under where your hands are.

What Flexicat tools do, by use of a double gimbaled
construction, is spread the pressure evenly over the
whole sanding surface of the tool. Instead of your
sand paper getting loaded up at the outer ends and
the middle portion under performing, the full
surface of the sandpaper is making equal contact
on the work surface.

For professionals and DIYs alike, the expense of
the tools are more than offset by the savings in
materials and man hours.

Apply it once, sand it once, that's it.
Imagine a world where you can mix up your filler,
glop it onto the surface of the boat, then take the
filling tool and, with a single pass, have it evenly
and perfectly applied without requiring multiple
rounds of filling, then sanding, then filling, then
sanding... You're done.
The surface is fair and you're ready to move on to
the next step in the painting process.
