FAQs

Can I use this trowel for applying heavy mortar?

This tool is designed specifically for plaster finishing and skimming. Using it for heavy mortar or concrete application may damage the flexible blade.

Does the cork handle deteriorate over time?

The handle is designed for durability and does not absorb water, making it highly resistant to the typical wear and tear seen in plastering environments.

Why are the corners of the blade rounded?

The rounded corners are a intentional design feature meant to prevent 'digging' into the plaster and to avoid scratching the surface during smoothing passes.

Is this trowel suitable for beginners?

While effective, the 18-inch size is quite large. Beginners might find it easier to start with the 11-inch or 14-inch versions of the Toolty range to learn proper technique.

How should I store the trowel to protect the edge?

Store the trowel in a dedicated tool box or hang it on a wall rack. Never leave it lying on concrete floors where the edge could be nicked.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels stiff during application

Ensure the blade is thoroughly cleaned of any dried plaster buildup and check that you are using a consistent angle of attack.

Handle becoming slippery

Wipe the cork handle with a clean, damp cloth to remove plaster dust and allow it to air dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight cork handle reduces hand fatigue
  • Rounded corners prevent marring of fresh plaster
  • Non-absorbent handle material maintains grip when wet
  • Flexible blade allows for precise feathering
  • Durable stainless steel build ensures tool longevity

Cons

  • 18-inch size can be heavy for overhead use
  • Large footprint is less effective in confined spaces
  • Requires proper technique to master the blade flexibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly is required for the Toolty Finishing Trowel; it is ready to use out of the box. To maintain the blade's integrity, always clean the tool immediately after use using water and a sponge to remove plaster residue before it hardens. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the adhesive or the cork handle material. Store the trowel in a dry area and consider hanging it by the handle or laying it flat to prevent the blade from bending or sustaining edge damage during transport.
