A trowel is a traditional tool used for applying, shaping, and finishing materials such as plaster and mortar. It has a wide range of applications in fields such as architecture, decoration, sculpture, etc. The mud scraper comes in various models and specifications to meet different work needs. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the trowel.

The structure of a trowel

●  Handle: The handle is the supporting part of a trowel, usually made of wood, plastic, or metal material. The design of the handle requires comfort and anti slip properties for users to use for a long time.
●  Blade: The blade is the core part of the trowel, responsible for applying and shaping materials. The blade is usually curved to better grasp and control the application force. Blades are usually made of metal and have high wear resistance and durability.
●  Adjustment device: Some trowels are equipped with adjustment devices to adjust the angle between the blade and the handle, in order to adapt to different work needs.

Types of trowels

●  Handheld trowel: suitable for large-scale application on walls, floors, etc., with simple and convenient operation.
●  Mud scraper: With a longer blade, it is suitable for wall scraping and leveling work.
●  Carving trowel: The blade design is relatively delicate and suitable for high-precision work such as sculpture and detail processing.

The characteristics of a mud scraper

●  Efficiency: The trowel can quickly and evenly apply materials, improving work efficiency.
●  Flexibility: Different types of trowels can adapt to different work needs, facilitating the shaping and finishing of various shapes.
●  Durability: The blade of the trowel is usually made of wear-resistant and durable metal material, with a long service life.
●  Comfort: The handle design conforms to ergonomics, providing comfortable use and reducing fatigue from long-term work.

●  Apply the material in a certain order, such as horizontal to vertical, top to bottom, etc.
●  Master the strength, apply evenly, and avoid the formation of bubbles and marks.
●  After use, clean the trowel promptly to avoid material residue.

Precautions

●  Before use, check whether the trowel is intact and undamaged. If it is damaged, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
●  When using, it is necessary to maintain even force and avoid splashing the material due to strong application.
●  Avoid using in humid or rainy weather to avoid affecting the adhesion and curing effect of the material.
