Using the Ox Pro SST Square Cement Finishing Trowel is easy. First, choose the right size according to your project. Hold the trowel by the Ox grip handle, which is designed for comfort. Apply the cement smoothly on the surface, using the high - grade stainless - steel blade. When working in tight spaces or corners, take advantage of the trowel's flexibility. To keep your trowel in good condition, clean it after each use. Wipe off any cement residue with a damp cloth. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. If the blade gets dull over time, you can sharpen it carefully. And always be careful when handling the trowel to avoid any injury, especially around the blade.
