A smaller trowel? You can get corner trowels, which look like a float that has been bent at 90 degrees down the length, but they are not usually as large as 4" on a side.

Gauging trowel?

Hi Colin - also, it's a "newsgroup" (unless you're posting from some webby thing).

Remove the architrave, make sure the casing's flat and smooth, use your ordinary float.
