what addy is it? if it was tubbed stuff, try soaking them in hot water. If it was real addy then angle grinder.
It was proper addy, not the rubbed stuff.
Will try the acid first, then an angle grinder if that doesn't work. Looks like my friend just got himself a secondhand set of trowels for the price of some shiney new ones. :smilewinkgrin:

I put one of my bucket trowels into a bucket of [FONT=Open Sans, arial, sans-serif]phosphoric acid for a few days. Trowel is now too bendy to hold addy! I find it's quite therapeutic cleaning trowels and tools. The acid will work, but don't leave it soaking for too long. [/FONT]
