Two Handed Tooling

The mortar joints of Wall 2 are unusually complicated due to the different angles and overhangs. I found that I can get a good clean finish by having a tool in each hand: a butter knife in my left, and my favourite scraper in my right.

I start with an upstroke to trim one side, and then a downstroke to clean the other side.
Then another upstroke to clean out the gap.

I finish with a soft brush to clean up any 'crumbs' of mortar.
