How to use

Ensure tile joints are clean and free of loose debris before starting. Load a small amount of grout or jointing compound onto the trowel and press the material firmly into the joint, moving the tool at a consistent angle to fill the space fully. Use the edge to scrape off excess grout, holding the trowel so the profile maintains the desired joint width and depth. After initial setting, perform a final wipe with a damp sponge to smooth the joint surface, taking care not to over-wet the grout. Clean the trowel after use to prevent material buildup and maintain the blade edge.

Recommendations

For best results, match the 13 x 16 mm profile to the intended joint width and test on a spare tile or inconspicuous area. Use steady, even strokes when filling joints and avoid excessive water when finishing to prevent joint washout. Store the trowel dry and clean to preserve blade integrity and ensure consistent performance over time.
