I know it's shocking, rushing trying to do too much , no excuse [emoji17]

 

[theclemo]

Nothing's shocking about it. Its a plastering trowel with plaster on it.

 

[beddy]

Look at the state of the handles

 

[theclemo]

I can't use a trowel with a dirty handle

Hope that was the utility sink or someones gonna be in trouble.

I've gone bk to carbon, bit tougher to clean but break in easier. I keep some wet and dry with me to keep on top of the residue

 

[Plastererjonesy84]

Lol I manage to keep my mt clean just by scraping any little bits off every week or so but the nelas are so delicate I dont want to be forcing a scraper down the blade so this seems a spot on way to get around it,tip of the week
