How to use a trowel to achieve a good decoration construction effect?

(1) Before use

The appropriate type and size of trowel should be selected according to the specific construction content. Different construction objects are generally equipped with different types of trowels to ensure the effectiveness of construction. For example, when laying mosaic tiles, it is advisable to use a square-toothed trowel. If a flat-edged trowel is used, the tiles may not be firmly attached.

(2) Mixing putty and cement

If a trowel is used to mix putty and cement, it should be used together with a putty knife. Place the putty slurry or cement slurry on the back of the trowel blade, and then use the putty knife to evenly scrape and mix the putty slurry or cement slurry on the blade.

(3) Smoothing the wall

When using a trowel to smooth the wall with cement or putty, try to keep it continuous. Otherwise, it is easy to leave irregular slurry on the surface, which is not beautiful and will also affect the construction effect. If there is a misconnection, use a trowel to fill the surface completely to ensure that the thickness of the cement layer or putty layer is equal.
