Product Information
Full details
The Ragni R319-8ST Tiling Trowel is designed for professional tilers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require precision during adhesive application for floor and wall tile installations. Its primary benefit is the consistent 8mm notched blade that ensures an even adhesive bed for tiles 300mm x 300mm and larger, though users should note it is specifically optimized for medium-to-large formats rather than intricate mosaic work.

FAQs
Is this trowel suitable for wall tiles?
Yes, it is designed for both floor and wall applications, provided the tiles are 300mm x 300mm or larger.
Can I use this for mosaic tiles?
No, the 8mm notch is likely too large for mosaic tiles and will result in excessive adhesive being applied.
How do I prevent rust on the blade?
The blade is stainless steel, but you should always wash it after use and dry it thoroughly before storage.
Why are the rivets concealed?
Concealing the rivets inside the stem prevents them from dragging through the adhesive, creating a smoother finish.
What size tile is this recommended for?
This trowel is ideal for tiles sized 300mm x 300mm and larger.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is sticking to the blade too heavily
Ensure the blade is cleaned frequently during use and dampen the blade slightly if the adhesive is particularly fast-drying.
The trowel feels slippery in hand
Wipe the handle dry and clear away any adhesive dust or debris from the grip area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade stainless steel resists rust
- Concealed rivets prevent snagging on adhesive
- Consistent notch depth for uniform coverage
- Comfortable grip reduces user fatigue
Cons
- Not suitable for small mosaic or subway tiles
- Fixed notch size limits application versatility
- Requires proper cleaning to prevent dried adhesive build-up
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Ragni Trowel, ensure your substrate is clean and prepped before beginning application. The 8mm notch size is best paired with adhesives recommended for large-format tiles.
Care Instructions:
- Always clean the trowel immediately after use with water to prevent mortar from hardening on the blade.
- Avoid using wire brushes or harsh abrasive pads that could damage the stainless steel finish.
- Dry the tool completely before storing it to maintain its corrosion-resistant properties.
- Inspect the handle connection periodically to ensure the grip remains secure.
