trowel

Hi guys, just thought I'd ask the question, what way do you store your notched trowels in your van. I was sorting my van out today while I'm off and was just wondering if it's a good old bucket with the trowels upright in it for you, or have any of you any ingenious ways that would be new to the...

Hi all. New to the forum. I'm doing my first tiling job in our hallway. I've got the sub floor nice and sturdy by gluing and screwing hardibacker down but need some advice on the trowel size for the job. The tiles are pretty small. They are hexagonal and roughly 26cm x 21cm rock solid 6mm...

Does anyone know of a formula that will calculate how much adhesive is needed for given trowel notch sizes? If a 20kg bag of cement based adhesive does about 4.5m2 (10mm trowel) then, how far would it have gone using a 3mm mosaic trowel? There's formulas for grout coverage however, I...

Hi all, Just a regular DIYer interested in trying something new/better for hi latest project (bathroom walls). Can anyone offer advice on what bed depth slanted (Raimondi) trowels give? The gaps between the notches look less area compared to regular square notched trowels so I am guessing the...

The trowel logo for the forum is not a real trowel. At first i thought it was a left handed one but then I noticed the notches on the short side of the trowel are on the wrong end.Or the handle is on the wrong way round! Has anyone else noticed this?

I need some new trowels and was wondering what brand trowels people thinks the best. I know it's personal preference but just wanted some ideas I hear that marshaltown notched trowel are good?

Morning all, Hope I am posting in the right area and not in the DIY area I am planning to do my first ever floor tiling DIY job soon. Went into Topps and bought a 8mmx8mm tiling trowel (after speaking the advisor) with my tiles (Qrock Black) but now not sure if it is the right choice. I will...

Hi, I understand why Bal designed their thin bed solid bed trowel as they have although by the sounds of it people prefer the Rubi trowels. Would an 8mm square notched trowel suffice for wet areas or is a u shape version available? Thanks

Please can anyone tell me if a proper mosaic trowel is square notched or v notched? and if one is better than the other. is it 3 mm notches? Many thanks Richard

The 'web' seems to recommend 4mm notched trowel for mosaics (porcelain) Is this correct and if so is the notch smaller than you would use on the floor to stop adhesive coming through the gaps? Many thanks for your help

Been reading old threads re trowel sizes and notice a lot of the guys have recommended the use of a 10mm 'u' notched trowel for floors. However, such a trowel does not seem to exist. I can buy a 10mm square notched trowel anywhere but not a 10mm 'u' shape. When you mention a 10mm u notched...

Over the last few weeks I've been called out to replace singular floor tiles in a few bathrooms and kitchens. From looking at the dried adhesive patterns, after the loose/cracked tile was removed, they look as though they have been laid using a square notched trowel dagger than a u notched...
