The AB Tools Plasterers Hawks Board and Square Notched Float Trowel set is a professional-grade kit designed for tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts tackling tiling and plastering projects. This combination provides a stable platform for holding material and the precision tool needed for consistent adhesive application, though the aluminium construction of the hawk requires careful cleaning to prevent long-term build-up of dried bonding materials.

The 8mm notch is standard for applying thin-set adhesive for ceramic and stone tiles, ensuring the correct amount of adhesive is distributed for a secure bond.
Yes, the aluminium hawk is suitable for most plasters and mortars, though it should be washed thoroughly after use to prevent material curing.
The scoured finish increases surface friction, preventing the mortar or plaster from sliding off the board while you work.
Keep it clean of excess mortar to prevent wood degradation and store in a dry place to avoid splitting or rotting.
Yes, the trowel features a flat-faced side specifically designed for smoothing and skimming applications.
Ensure the surface is properly scoured and check that your mixture consistency is not too wet.
Remove rust with fine-grade steel wool and ensure the blade is wiped with a light machine oil before storing.
Tighten the central locking nut or screw at the base of the handle to restore stability.
To ensure the longevity of your tools, clean all surfaces immediately after use. For the aluminium hawk, wipe down with water and a soft brush; avoid harsh acid-based cleaners that could degrade the metal. The carbon steel trowel should be dried completely before storage to prevent rust. Ensure the handle bolts on the hawk remain tight, as loose handles can cause instability. Store the tools in a cool, dry environment away from chemical solvents. Periodically check the notch teeth for deformation; if the 8mm square notches become worn or bent, adhesive consistency will be compromised, and the trowel should be replaced.
