Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a brick trowel and a pointing trowel?

A brick trowel has a larger blade for picking up and spreading mortar when laying bricks. A pointing trowel is smaller and more precise, designed for filling and finishing joints.

Which trowel should I use for plastering?

A plastering trowel with a flat, wide blade is the usual choice for applying and laying off skim coats. Add a hawk to hold your plaster and a corner trowel for neat angles.

What does a darby or feather edge do?

Both are used to level and straighten freshly applied plaster or render. They help you remove high spots and fill hollows for a flat surface.
