FAQs
Is this trowel suitable for smoothing internal plaster?
No, this trowel is specifically shaped and balanced for the high-impact action of throwing pebbles in masonry and is not designed for the finishing techniques used on internal walls.
Can the handle be replaced if it wears out?
The soft-grip handle is integrated into the tool's design for durability; it is not intended to be replaced individually.
What is the primary material of the blade?
The blade is constructed from heavy-duty steel designed to resist abrasion from constant contact with pebbles and mortar.
Is the handle waterproof?
The soft-grip handle is resistant to water and mortar debris, making it easy to wipe clean after a day of work.
What is the best way to clean off dried mortar?
If mortar dries on the blade, gently tap it with a rubber mallet or use a stiff-bristle brush to remove the debris before rinsing.
Troubleshooting
Mortar building up on the blade surface
Clean the blade with a wire brush or scraper immediately after use and apply a light coat of machine oil if storing for long periods.
Handle feeling loose
Check the tang attachment point; if the handle is fixed, ensure no moisture has degraded the internal bond and keep the tool stored in a dry environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Faithfull Harling Trowel; it is ready to use immediately. It is compatible with standard mortar-based pebble dashing systems. To ensure long service life, always clean the tool immediately after each use. Remove any remaining mortar or grit by rinsing the blade thoroughly and wiping it dry to prevent corrosion. Periodically inspect the handle connection to ensure the grip remains secure.
