FAQs

What is 'blue steel'?

Blue steel is a type of high-carbon steel that has been heat-treated and polished to give it a distinctive blue-grey color. It is known for its strength, flexibility, and durability, making it ideal for trowel blades.

What is the main advantage of the long shank?

The long shank provides greater leverage and control over the blade, allowing for more precise movements and reducing the effort required to spread and finish materials.

Can I use this trowel for both concrete and drywall compound?

While primarily designed for concrete, stucco, and plaster, the blue steel blade and versatile shape can also be used for finishing drywall compound. However, thorough cleaning between different material types is essential.

How does the comfort wave handle differ from a traditional handle?

The comfort wave handle is ergonomically shaped to follow the natural contours of the hand, reducing pressure points and improving grip stability, which leads to less fatigue during extended work periods compared to simpler, straight handles.

Are there different sizes available for this model?

While this specific model is 67-361, RHINOBUILD may offer similar trowels in different sizes or with different handle types. Please check product specifications or consult with a retailer for available variants.

What is the warranty on this trowel?

Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer or retailer. It is recommended to check the product packaging or contact the point of purchase for details on warranty coverage.

Troubleshooting

Blade shows signs of rust

Ensure the trowel is thoroughly dried after each use and stored in a dry location. Light rust can typically be removed with a fine-grit abrasive pad and a light oil application.

Material sticks excessively to the blade

Clean the blade more thoroughly immediately after use. Some materials may benefit from a light coating of a non-stick spray (ensure it's suitable for the material being worked with) on the blade before use, though this is not a standard practice for most trowel applications.

Handle feels uncomfortable after prolonged use

While the comfort wave handle is ergonomic, individual hand sizes vary. Ensure you are maintaining proper grip technique and taking short breaks. Consider using work gloves for added cushioning.
