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...

Everywhere i go seems to have only square notch trowels. I want to use a round notched 8mm trowel to lay insulation board and a 10mm one to lay tiles (managed to get the 10mm) but the 8 is proving very hard to find!
any reason?
should i just use a square notch? pros cons?

I carry about 7, all hung on the side of a gorilla bucket :smilewinkgrin:

I would just like to do a small review on these.
They are completly useless! I can't stress this enough! From applying the adhesive to cleaning to using in harmony with your bucket trowel to move your adhesive around, it fails on every level!
I'm baffled to see what the whole point of it...

Hello all,
Ive been on ebay yesterday looking for a round notched 10mm trowel.
Ive seen 2 examples, one by rubi which states its 10mm but they look like long fat notches, so not many across the length of the trowel, where as another trowel says its 10mm but has lots of notches across the...

What is back buttering? Should I have back buttered the tiles? What is its purpose?
Is back buttering another term for solid bed?

Hi Guys, I'm fitting some large tiles. The wall tiles are 33cm x 100cm. Am I right in thinking a 6mm square notched trowel will be ok for these? The floor tiles are 44cm x 66cm (porcelain) and I was thinking 10mm round notched trowel. Also, wasn't sure whether to go with butech adhesive or...
