What is a "margin trowel"?
A margin trowel is a small, hand-held tool used in masonry and tile work for mixing, spreading, and applying mortar or grout. It has a narrow, rectangular blade with a slightly curved edge, making it ideal for working in tight spaces or for scooping and spreading smaller amounts of material. Margin trowels are commonly used for cleaning up excess mortar, filling gaps, or applying grout between tiles. They provide precision and control, especially in areas where larger trowels cannot easily reach.
Examples
The mason used the margin trowel to smooth out the mortar in the corners of the wall.
