Product Information
Full details
The Bona Adhesive Glue Trowel is designed for professional flooring installers and DIY enthusiasts who require precision during the application of adhesives for parquet, plank, and herringbone flooring. Its primary benefit is the consistent adhesive coverage provided by the B6 notch pattern, ensuring a reliable bond between the flooring and the subfloor. A key caveat for users is that the high-quality steel construction requires diligent cleaning immediately after use to prevent adhesive buildup and maintain the tool's longevity.

FAQs
What does the B6 notch size indicate?
The B6 notch size refers to the depth and spacing of the teeth on the trowel, which determines the amount of adhesive deposited on the subfloor to ensure proper bonding.
Can I use this trowel for large-format tiles?
This trowel is specifically designed for wood flooring styles like parquet and planks. It may not provide the correct notch depth or coverage for large-format tiles.
How do I ensure I get the best coverage?
Maintain a consistent 45-degree angle against the subfloor and apply firm, even pressure across the entire trowel length.
Is the steel flexible?
Yes, the trowel is crafted from flexible steel, allowing for a better "feel" and movement against the subfloor compared to rigid, thick metal trowels.
Does this trowel come with a handle?
The Bona Adhesive Glue Trowel includes an integrated handle designed for an ergonomic grip during extended installation sessions.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is sticking to the trowel blades
Apply a light coat of a suitable release agent or ensure the trowel is kept clean during the spreading process.
Notches are becoming clogged
Wipe the trowel periodically with a clean rag dampened with the appropriate solvent to remove excess adhesive buildup.
Surface rust appearing on the steel
Lightly sand the rust with fine-grit sandpaper, clean thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of machine oil before storage.
