Do you want to get started in masonry? A trowel, a float, but above all a mortar pan and you're good to go! A mortar pan, sometimes called a gomato, is the container in which mortar, cement, or glue is mixed. Small or large, ManoMano offers you cheap mortar pans!
The mason's mortar pan, sometimes referred to as a "gomato," designates this rectangular-shaped container that accompanies the trowel and the float in all masonry work.
Typically made of plastic and preferably rubber, the mortar pan is used by the mason to mix (that is, combine and work) cement, mortar, plaster, or glue. It holds the product while the mason manually applies it to construct a wall using bricks or concrete blocks, apply a coating, or create a roughcast.
The size of your mortar pan should be chosen based on the amount of product you need to apply. A small mortar pan is easily maneuverable but will need to be filled more frequently, it's up to you. You're in luck: we have all sizes and products from the best brands such as Mondelin mortar pans.
A bit of culture...
A mortar pan is, in a general sense, a rectangular-shaped container. Thus, a "mortar pan" is also used to describe a flat-bottomed valley, hence the eponymous name of the Auge region. This denomination may come from the Scandinavian language and would have passed into Latin after the Norman invasions. Aue still designates a meadow, a lowland in German today.
Therefore, a mortar pan can also refer to a trough in which animals drink or feed themselves and, stemming from this meaning, can also refer to a plate in slang.
