When worn, you don’t need to replace the entire trowel. Simply swap the blade to extend the tool’s lifespan.
Versatile use
Besides microcement, it is also suitable for applying acrylic gel and delicate work on decorative surfaces.

How to use the trowel
The microcement result is affected by pressure, trowel angle and blade cleanliness. The plastic trowel is especially helpful for fine and light-coloured final layers.
Keep the blade clean
Continuously remove dried material to avoid scratches or dirt marks from the trowel.
Work in thin layers
Microcement is applied in thin layers. Too thick layers impair appearance and sanding.
Control pressure
Avoid excessive pressure. For light shades, a smooth and even movement is best.
Use on final layers
It is most effective when applying the final microcement or gel layer, where every detail matters.
Protect the working edge
A damaged or nicked blade can leave marks. Replace it when worn.
Test on a sample
Before covering a large area, test the trowel strokes on a sample board.
