FAQs

What is the primary use for a pointing trowel?

A pointing trowel is primarily used for masonry work, such as filling joints between bricks (repointing), applying small amounts of mortar or plaster, and general repair tasks.

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is manufactured from hardened and tempered steel for increased durability.

Is this trowel suitable for large plastering jobs?

No, this is a pointing trowel with a 150mm blade, making it ideal for detailed work and smaller repairs, not large surface applications.

How do I maintain the trowel to prevent rust?

Clean the blade thoroughly after each use, dry it completely, and store it in a dry location to prevent rust.

What does 'hardened and tempered' steel mean for the user?

It means the steel has been treated to be stronger and more resistant to bending or breaking, ensuring the blade's edge lasts longer and can withstand tougher materials.

Can I use this trowel with concrete?

While primarily designed for mortar and plaster, it can be used for small concrete repair jobs where precision is needed.

Troubleshooting

Mortar sticking excessively to the blade.

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before use. Applying a thin layer of oil can sometimes help, but clean thoroughly after use.

Handle feels uncomfortable after prolonged use.

Take regular breaks. Ensure you are gripping the trowel correctly without excessive force.

Visible rust spots on the blade.

This can occur if the trowel is stored in a damp environment. Gently scrub the rust with fine-grade steel wool and clean thoroughly. Ensure it is dried and stored in a dry place subsequently.
