Troubleshooting

Material sticking to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before and after use. If using sticky materials, try wetting the blade slightly before application, but ensure it's dried immediately after.

Grip feels insecure

If using the wood handle, ensure it is clean and dry. If the comfort handle feels worn, consider if the handle type is suitable for your grip preference or if a different handle option might be better for prolonged use.

Reduced precision in tight spots

Practice using the trowel's specific shape in various tight angles to master its maneuverability. Ensure no debris is obstructing the area of work.
