Troubleshooting
Plaster sticking excessively to the surface.
Ensure the hawk is thoroughly cleaned after each use. For initial use, a light application of a mold release agent or even cooking spray can help, but this is typically not necessary with regular cleaning.
Hawk feels unstable when holding a large amount of plaster.
Ensure you are holding the hawk with a firm grip on the handle. Distribute the plaster evenly across the surface. For extremely large amounts, consider making smaller batches more frequently to maintain balance.
Surface becoming rough over time.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. If minor roughness occurs, try a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive pad and soapy water. Store properly to avoid impacts that could damage the surface.
