A walling trowel is a hand tool used primarily in masonry and bricklaying. It features a flat, rectangular blade with a slight curve, allowing for efficient spreading and shaping of mortar or plaster on walls. The handle is typically made of wood or plastic, providing a comfortable grip for the user. This tool is essential for achieving smooth finishes and proper adhesion when working on vertical surfaces.

Finally, smooth the surface as desired and allow it to cure according to the concrete specifications.
