How to use

Apply mortar or plaster to the working surface using the flat side of the trowel, holding the tool at a shallow angle to control the material thickness. Use the sponge-covered side to gently clean excess grout from tile surfaces or to rub and polish gypsum plasters for a smooth finish. Rinse the sponge surface with water during work as needed to remove accumulated residue and maintain consistent performance. Store the trowel clean and dry to prolong the life of the sponge layer.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the trowel for light to medium finishing jobs rather than heavy-duty chiseling or demolition. Keep the sponge layer free of hard debris and avoid prolonged exposure to solvents that could degrade the adhesive bond. Regularly rinse and lightly wring the sponge to remove grout particles when cleaning tiles to maintain even contact and avoid scratching finished surfaces.
