The Marshalltown Square Notched Trowel is an essential tool for professional flooring contractors and dedicated DIYers who require precision and consistency when applying adhesives for tile, carpet, or vinyl installations. Its standout feature is the ergonomic DuraSoft handle, which significantly reduces fatigue during large-scale tiling projects; however, users should note that the carbon steel blade requires diligent cleaning and immediate drying after use to prevent surface oxidation.

The 10mm square notch is ideal for large format tiles that require a significant amount of mortar for proper leveling and coverage.
The DuraSoft handle is permanently bonded to the mounting for durability and is not designed for field replacement.
While it can be used for spreading, be sure to clean the blade immediately after use as epoxy can be difficult to remove once it begins to cure.
Yes, the symmetrical design of the blade and handle makes it suitable for both left-handed and right-handed installers.
Maintain a consistent 45-degree angle and press firmly so that the ridges formed by the notches do not collapse until you set the tile.
Clean the notches frequently during application using a wire brush or scraper to maintain consistent adhesive depth.
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to remove surface rust, then apply a thin layer of light machine oil to protect the steel.
Before your first use, ensure the trowel is clean and free of factory oils. The 10mm square notch is compatible with most standard thin-set mortars and thick-bed adhesives used for large tiles. For maintenance, never leave the tool sitting in water or in direct contact with wet adhesive for extended periods. Once finished with your tiling project, use a stiff brush and water (or the recommended cleaning agent for your specific adhesive) to remove all residue from the blade and teeth. Dry the steel surface completely with a clean cloth. If you are storing the tool in a high-humidity environment, consider applying a light coat of machine oil to the blade to prevent corrosion.
