FAQs
What is the purpose of the A3 notches?
The A3 notch size is specifically engineered to provide the correct adhesive spread rate and ridge height for most fine wood flooring adhesives.
Can I use this trowel for tile adhesive?
This trowel is designed specifically for wood adhesive applications. Using it for tile adhesive may result in incorrect coverage and poor bond strength.
How do I maintain the steel blade?
Always clean the blade with appropriate solvents immediately after use and store in a dry, moisture-free location.
Does the product come with a warranty?
Yes, the Bona Wood Adhesive Trowel includes a 1-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Is the handle comfortable for long periods of use?
The trowel is designed with ergonomics in mind, but it is recommended to take breaks during large-scale installations to reduce hand fatigue.
What material is the trowel made of?
It is constructed from high-performance flexible steel to balance durability and application control.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive ridges are appearing inconsistent or broken
Ensure the trowel is being held at a consistent 45-degree angle to the subfloor and that you are using sufficient downward pressure.
Notches are becoming clogged during application
Wipe the blade with a rag frequently during use to remove excess adhesive buildup that can obstruct the notches.
Difficulty cleaning hardened adhesive from the blade
Soak the blade in the recommended adhesive solvent and use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge material from the notch crevices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and leveled according to the flooring manufacturer’s requirements. Select an adhesive that is compatible with the A3 notch size of this trowel. During application, apply firm, even pressure to the handle to ensure the teeth of the trowel maintain contact with the subfloor.
Care is essential for this tool. Because wood adhesives are designed to set quickly, you must clean the trowel immediately after finishing your application for the day or during long breaks. Use the cleaning solvent recommended by the adhesive manufacturer to wipe the steel blade clean, ensuring no dried adhesive remains in the notches. Store the trowel in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the steel.
