Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This trowel requires no assembly. It is ready for use immediately upon unboxing.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with all types of mortar, cement, stucco, and other masonry compounds.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mortar with a putty knife or brush. Wash the blade thoroughly with water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasives that could damage the polished finish.
- Drying: Crucially, dry the trowel completely with a clean cloth immediately after washing to prevent rust, as it is made of carbon steel.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment. Applying a light coat of oil to the steel blade before long-term storage can offer additional protection against rust.
- Handle Care: Periodically inspect the wood handle. If it appears dry, a light application of linseed oil can help maintain its condition.
