FAQs

What is the primary use of this notched trowel?

This trowel is primarily used for applying tile adhesive to surfaces like walls or floors, ensuring a consistent and even spread.

What does the 6mm square notch size mean?

The 6mm square notch refers to the shape and depth of the grooves on the edge of the trowel blade, which are designed to create uniform ridges in the adhesive for proper tile adhesion.

Is this trowel suitable for large format tiles?

Yes, the 11 x 4 1/2 inch size and 6mm square notches are generally suitable for many large format tiles, providing good coverage.

How do I clean the trowel after use?

Clean the blade immediately after use with water and a brush to remove all adhesive residue. Wipe it dry afterward to prevent rust.

What material is the handle made of?

The handle is made of wood and features a banana shape for ergonomic comfort.

Are the rivets visible?

No, the rivets attaching the blade to the handle are invisible, providing a smooth finish.

Can I use this trowel for grout?

This notched trowel is designed for applying adhesive. For grouting, a different type of trowel, such as a rubber grout float, is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Uneven adhesive spread

Ensure the blade is clean and free of dried adhesive. Check that the notches are clear and undamaged. Use consistent pressure and angle while spreading.

Blade feels too stiff or too flexible

The spring steel blade is designed for optimal flexibility. If it seems too stiff, ensure you are using it with appropriate pressure. If it seems too flexible, check for any damage or deformation.

Handle feels uncomfortable during use

Ensure you are holding the trowel with a firm but relaxed grip. The banana shape is designed for ergonomic comfort; try different grip positions to find what works best for you.
