How to Use

1. Prepare the Area: Clean the workspace, removing any loose debris or old mortar from the joints.
2. Mix Mortar: Prepare the mortar to the desired consistency, making sure it suits the task at hand; for paving or small joints a ready-mixed pointing compound can save mixing time.
3. Apply Mortar: Use the trowel’s narrow blade to insert the mortar into the joint or gap, pressing firmly for a secure bond. For deep or recessed joints a pointing gun kit can help push mortar into the space before finishing with the trowel.
4. Smooth and Finish: Shape and smooth the mortar to achieve a polished finish, using the flexibility of the blade for precision.
5. Clean After Use: Wipe the trowel clean with a damp cloth to maintain its condition.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a dry location to avoid rust forming on the blade.
• Clean thoroughly after each use to prevent mortar build-up.
