What trowel do you use for SLC

[Ian]

Just wondered what trowel type you all preferred for spreading SLC. Square/pointed etc. This is what I use and find it easy to use and get a nice finish.

13 inch square edge trowel, slc does not retain ridges..

I use one of my old marshalltown plastering trowels, about 18" long and just push and pull the slc, seems to work for me.

Read a few weeks ago about folks using a tile trowel as this brings the air to the surface?

What about a spiked roller, any good?

 

[DHTiling]

She can wear what she wants but makes no difference when tiling

, i use a notched trowel, with mapei renovation screed it smooths like glass after

It depends on a few things, area, depth, water or milk, ufh heating blah blah blah, larger areas then spiked roller if the depth allows it, smaller areas, notched trowel, both sides.

they work very well but not really needed for tiled floors, more for the soft flooring.
