Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Roughneck Neoform; it is ready to work straight from the packaging. To ensure the longevity of the tool:
- Cleaning: Always wash the trowel thoroughly with clean water immediately after use to prevent plaster from setting on the stainless steel surface.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment. While 301 stainless steel is rust-resistant, keeping it dry prevents potential staining over time.
- Inspection: Periodically check the screws connecting the handle mount to the blade to ensure they remain tight, though the robust construction rarely loosens under normal conditions.
- Handling: Avoid striking the blade edges against hard objects like concrete or metal studs, as this can nick the pre-worn edges and compromise the finish quality.
