FAQs
Can I use this trowel for thin-set mortar?
This trowel is specifically engineered for wood flooring adhesives. Using it with abrasive materials like mortar may cause premature wear.
How do I know if this is the right trowel size for my flooring?
Always refer to the technical data sheet of the specific adhesive you are using, as different adhesives require specific notch sizes for proper coverage.
Is the handle replaceable?
The Bona 1000G is a fixed-design tool; the handle is integrated into the structural design and is not designed for replacement.
Can I use a wire brush to clean the trowel?
A wire brush can be used carefully to remove stubborn dried adhesive, but be mindful not to alter the shape or depth of the steel notches.
How should I store the trowel?
Store in a dry, temperate environment. Hanging the trowel by the handle helps prevent accidental damage to the notched edge.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive ridges are inconsistent or uneven
Check the teeth of the trowel for dried adhesive buildup or debris and clean thoroughly; ensure the trowel is held at a constant angle.
Steel edge showing signs of corrosion
Ensure the trowel was fully cleaned and dried after the last use; lightly buff the area with fine-grit steel wool if surface rust appears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the tool, ensure your subfloor is clean, level, and dry. Before applying adhesive, check that the notches on the 1000G are free of debris or dried material from previous jobs. The tool is compatible with most Bona brand wood flooring adhesives; always check the adhesive bucket label for specific trowel size recommendations. Care is the most important aspect of owning this tool: immediately after finishing your application session, scrape off excess adhesive using a metal putty knife, then use the appropriate solvent recommended by the adhesive manufacturer to wipe the steel surfaces clean. Never store the trowel with dried adhesive residue on the blade, as this can corrode the steel and ruin the notch depth accuracy.
