This trowel finishes decorative epoxy aggregate mortars and many types of polymer and modified cementitious overlays. It replaces heavier conventional trowels, and virtually eliminates trowel marks and burnishing. Interchangeable pneumatic motors and 4-cycle engines providing assorted torque

loads and speeds are suited to trowel a wide range of sand-to-liquid ratios and mortar viscosities. The 34-inch trowel is quickly reduced to 25 inches by changing the guard and blades.
