HOW IMPORTANT IS A MORTAR BOARD ANYWAY
It's important enough to do the following:
No nails to obstruct movement of trowel. Requires less tempering of mortar. Porous steel and high grade enamel finish does not absorb water.
Three steel legs of mortar board afford a constantly steady working surface. Unlike wood with nails, this mortar board cannot rust - no additional maintenance expense.
Spun 14 turned down edge reinforces mortar board, affording positive rigidity.
Ample sized working surface: 32" diameter.
A quantity of mortar boards can be nested together for easy transportation and storage.
Combine all the above features with indestructibility, and you have a mortar board that can't help but make the mason's job easier and quicker and the cost of construction much cheaper.
