> How do I achieve the correct mortar consistency for my Roughneck Mortar Gun?
We recommend using Soft Building Sand in your mix. The best way to test that you are using the correct sand, is to rub the palm of your hand with the sand, if it stains your palm orange then you have soft building sand. Please note that sharp building sand must be never used.
This should ideally be mixed, 3-4 parts sand to 1-part cement. Plasticiser should be used to bind the mix together to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
Always use the orange, straight or angled nozzles, to dispense your mortar mix.

> I'm using my ultimate mortar gun as a sausage gun but it is blocking up the tube. What am I doing wrong?
The slit on the sausage has most likely been made too high along the tube, causing the contents to be released inside the tube. Always cut in the front rather than on the side. Ensure only a small incision is made so that mortar is directed through the nozzle.

> How do I remove the finger guard from my Roughneck brick trowel?
All Roughneck brick trowel handles come with an integrated soft rubberised finger guard for added user comfort. However, research indicates that some users prefer handles without a finger guard.
To accommodate this preference, we have included a cut-off guard to facilitate the removal of the finger guard if desired.
To remove the finger guard, use a sharp trimming knife and/or junior hacksaw to cut along the guard line.
After trimming, use a trimming knife to bevel the edge of the trimmed area for enhanced comfort.
