Product Information

Full details

The R.S.T. Notched Trowel is designed for DIY enthusiasts and tiling professionals needing to apply adhesive evenly to walls and floors before tile installation.

FAQs

What type of adhesive is this trowel best for?

This trowel is ideal for spreading common tile adhesives like thin-set mortar and tile mastic. The square notches are well-suited for general-purpose tiling.

Can this trowel be used for small mosaic tiles?

While it can be used, the square notches are quite pronounced and may not be ideal for very small mosaic tiles. For such applications, a finer notch trowel might provide better results. Always consult your adhesive's specifications.

How do I clean the trowel after use?

Clean the trowel immediately after use by scraping off excess adhesive and washing it thoroughly with water. Dry it completely to prevent rust.

What are the dimensions of the trowel?

The trowel measures 280 x 115mm, which is equivalent to 11 x 4 1/2 inches.

Is the handle grip replaceable?

The handle is designed as a soft-touch grip for comfort and is not typically designed for user replacement.

Will this trowel work for epoxy-based adhesives?

It can be used, but epoxy adhesives often require specific application tools. Ensure you check the epoxy manufacturer's recommendations for the correct trowel type and notch size.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not spreading evenly

Ensure the trowel notches are clean and free from dried adhesive. Check that the adhesive itself is mixed to the correct consistency as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Trowel feels uncomfortable during use

Ensure you are holding the soft-touch handle correctly. Take short breaks during extended use to rest your hand.

Rust spots on the blade

Ensure the trowel is thoroughly dried after washing and stored in a dry environment. Light rust can often be removed with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, followed by drying and a light oiling for storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Strong and durable all-steel construction.
  • Comfortable soft-touch handle reduces user fatigue.
  • Square notches ensure even adhesive application.
  • Sufficient size for efficient coverage of walls and floors.

Cons

  • Fixed notch size may not be suitable for all adhesive or tile requirements.
  • Steel construction can be heavier than composite alternatives.
  • Requires manual cleaning after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This trowel requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The R.S.T. Notched Trowel is compatible with most common tile adhesives, including thin-set mortar and tile mastic. The square notch size is generally suitable for medium to large format tiles (e.g., 6"x6" and larger). For very small tiles or specific adhesive manufacturers' recommendations, always check the adhesive packaging.

Care:

  1. Immediate Cleaning: After each use, immediately scrape off excess adhesive from the blade and notches.
  2. Washing: Wash the trowel thoroughly with water to remove all adhesive residue. For dried-on adhesive, a stiff brush may be helpful.
  3. Drying: Dry the trowel completely with a clean cloth to prevent rust.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry place.
