Damaged trowel

[drpplastering]

Hi guys,

made the mistake of following a shite boarder the other day who barely sunk any screws, I caught one laying on 1st coat - didn't think it had done out but on troweling up it now leaves a tiny line from a tiny dent on my 14inch marshalltown, you can barely see the dent. Anyone had this? Anyway of repairing them? It's my favourite!
Cheers

Do you not carry an oilstone for taking nicks out of your trowel?

rub down with wet and dry sandpaper, or cut corner of a brick with your trowel slowly with correct angle your trowel you'll soon learn how to do it :RpS_thumbsup:

 

[drpplastering]

No don't carry one - that'll do it then? I'll get hold of one!

Same as I keep a piece of carborundum stone for such emergencies

 

[drpplastering]

i certainly will!!!

only sand/sharpen the handle-side of trowel.

The nik will be on the bottom though ?

 

[drpplastering]

yep its on the bottom, ill sort it with an oil stone!

 

[Cromcruac]

just think it works better if edged from top side, u can work the nik outwards with stone and then sharpen-straight with sandpaper. F*****g hate when that happens and hate when i see screws sunk too deep, shows the slabber up as justs whackin it on and fckin leave it to the plasterer.
