Troubleshooting

Blade shows signs of rust

Clean the rusted area with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Wash, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of mineral oil or tool oil to the blade.

Handle feels loose

Ensure the handle is securely attached. If it appears damaged, contact the manufacturer for potential replacement options. Proper storage away from extreme moisture can prevent handle degradation.

Mortar not sticking or spreading evenly

Ensure the blade is clean and dry. Check the consistency of your mortar mix. For optimal performance, the hand-polished finish should provide a smooth surface for application.
