Troubleshooting

Mortar sticking to the tool

Ensure the tool is cleaned thoroughly immediately after each use while the mortar is still wet. For dried mortar, use a stiff brush or gently scrape with a non-metallic object.

Ensure consistent pressure is applied while drawing the slicker along the joint. Practice on scrap material to get a feel for the correct angle and speed.
