Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This trowel requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with various cementitious materials including concrete, mortar, plaster, and stucco.
Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of the blue steel blade:
- Clean Immediately: After each use, thoroughly clean the blade with water to remove all residue. A stiff brush can be used for stubborn material.
- Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the blade is completely dry before storing. Moisture can lead to rust on blue steel.
- Oil Lightly: For long-term storage, apply a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil, WD-40) to the blade to protect it from corrosion.
- Inspect Handle: Periodically check the handle for any signs of wear or damage, ensuring it remains securely attached to the shank.
