FAQs

What are the two joint sizes available on the Bon Tool 11-398?

The Bon Tool 11-398 typically offers two common joint sizes, often around 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch, but specific sizes should be confirmed by product specifications or the tool itself as variations can exist.

Is this jointer suitable for exterior brickwork?

How do I maintain the heat-treated steel for longevity?

Can this tool be used for concrete block joints?

Troubleshooting

Jointer is not creating a clean line.

Ensure the mortar is adequately set but still workable. Clean any dried mortar from the jointer edges. Try a different joint size on the tool if available.

Tool shows signs of rust.

Clean the rust with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Apply a light coat of tool oil to prevent further rusting. Store in a dry environment.

Mortar sticks excessively to the jointer.

Clean the tool thoroughly after each use. Ensure the mortar mix is not too wet, which can cause sticking.
