What is a "gauging trowel"?

A gauging trowel is a small, hand tool used in masonry and plastering to mix, measure, and apply materials like cement, plaster, or mortar. It has a flat, rectangular blade, often with a slightly curved edge, which allows for precise application of materials in small areas.

Gauging trowels are especially useful for detailed work and are often used by masons, tilers, and plasterers for accurate, controlled application of materials.
