It’s important to properly clean tuck pointers after use. They should be brushed off and thoroughly rinsed several times to remove all the remaining mortar, then air-dried and stored in a dry area above ground level. | |||

Tuck pointers can be dulled by normal use over time, which makes it harder to cut a clean lift of mortar. If the blade of a tuck pointer gets too dull to cut mortar, it’s a good idea to sharpen up the edges of the tool with a file, whetstone, bench grinder, or special trowel-sharpening tool. It doesn’t need to be razor sharp! | |||
