What are the parts of a darby?
Darby | ||
The main part of the darby is the base: a long flat piece with a smooth surface. | ||
Curled edgesThe Darby has a slight U-shape that gives it a pointed edge. This will prevent the tool from getting into the soft material you are smoothing and accidentally removing the coating. | ||

Each darby has handles that can be one of several designs. Handles make the tool more comfortable and easier to operate. The most common darby handles consist of two additional pieces. Their positions are adjusted by moving them along the handle. This makes the tool even more ergonomic for comfortable use, and also means that the handles can be easily replaced if they wear or break. | ||
Alternatively, the handles may consist of one long piece or two separate pieces permanently attached to the base. | ||

The length of the darby varies according to your needs. They are generally available in heights from 1.2m (4ft) to 2.4m (8ft). The width of the darby is about 12 cm (4¾ inches). |
