What is the warranty period?

Will this trowel rust if left in the garage?

Troubleshooting
Adhesive is clumping or spreading unevenly
Ensure you are applying consistent downward pressure and maintaining a steady 45-degree angle while pulling the trowel.
Notches are clogged with hardened adhesive
Use a stiff wire brush or a specialized scraper to clear the notch gaps, ensuring you do not deform the metal.
Blade feels less flexible during use
Check the blade for any buildup of adhesive residue along the handle junction and clean thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level to maximize the efficiency of the adhesive application. This trowel is compatible with most standard water-based and solvent-based flooring adhesives. To maintain the tool, clean it thoroughly with an appropriate solvent or water (depending on the adhesive used) immediately after finishing your installation. Do not allow adhesive to dry on the steel blade, as this can impede the precision of the notches. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. This product comes with a 1-year guarantee covering material and manufacturing defects.
