The RST Finger Trowel (RTR104B) is designed for masons and DIY enthusiasts needing to expertly finish mortar joints in brickwork. Its primary benefit is the precision offered by its 6-inch steel blade and narrow 1/2-inch width for creating weatherproof and aesthetically pleasing joints. A potential caveat is its specialized nature; it's not intended for heavy-duty plastering or scooping applications.

Yes, by properly forming and smoothing the mortar joints, this trowel helps ensure the brickwork is weatherproof and resistant to the elements.

Practice consistent pressure and angle while drawing the trowel along the joint. Ensure the trowel blade is clean and free of hardened mortar.
If the handle becomes rough over time, it can be lightly sanded with fine-grit sandpaper. For preservation, a light coat of linseed oil can be applied, ensuring it does not transfer to the blade.

Compatibility: This tool is compatible with all types of mortar mixes. Its primary use is in conjunction with masonry work.
Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance, clean the steel blade thoroughly after each use. Remove all residual mortar with water and a brush. Allow the trowel to air dry completely before storing to prevent rust. The wooden handle can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.
