FAQs

What is the main purpose of a corner trowel?

Corner trowels are specifically designed to create neat, precise, and smooth finishes on internal and external corners during plastering work.

Can these trowels be used for applying plaster?

While they are primarily for finishing, they can be used for applying a small amount of plaster to corners. Their main function is shaping and smoothing.

How do I know which trowel is for internal and which for external corners?

Typically, one trowel will have an angle suitable for concave (internal) corners, and the other will have an angle for convex (external) corners. The shape of the blade dictates its use.

Are these suitable for beginners?

Yes, they are suitable for both professionals and DIY users. However, achieving perfect results may require some practice for beginners.

What maintenance is required for carbon steel blades?

Carbon steel blades need to be cleaned thoroughly after each use and dried completely to prevent rust. Store in a dry environment.

What is included in the set?

The set includes two corner trowels, one for internal corners and one for external corners.

Troubleshooting

Plaster sticking to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before starting. If plaster is sticking, try slightly wetting the blade or using a different plaster consistency.

Uneven corner finish

Apply consistent pressure along the corner. Ensure an even coat of plaster is applied before using the trowel. Practice may be required for optimal results.

Handle feels uncomfortable

Ensure you are gripping the handle correctly within the designated soft grip area. If discomfort persists, consider taking more frequent breaks.
