Trowel EPM trapezoidal stainless steel 150 mm tooth 8x8 E-324-3153

The Trowel EPM trapezoidal stainless steel 150 mm tooth 8x8 E-324-3153 is a hand tool designed for applying and leveling adhesives, thin-bed mortars and tile adhesives. The 150 mm working width and trapezoidal stainless steel blade give a straight, corrosion-resistant edge that supports uniform spreading of adhesive. The 8x8 mm tooth pattern creates a consistent notch depth for predictable adhesive thickness and improved bed contact when setting tiles or panels.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade resists rust and maintains a flat working face over time, reducing the need for frequent replacement. The trapezoidal profile concentrates force evenly across the blade for smoother application and reduced gouging. The 8x8 tooth geometry provides reliable adhesive ridges for uniform coverage and improved mechanical bond. The 150 mm width balances control and reach, suitable for both confined areas and open surfaces.

Suitable for

• Applying tile adhesives and thin-set mortars
• Spreading glue for floor and wall tiling
• Small to medium-format tiling jobs and repairs
• DIY renovation tasks requiring consistent adhesive thickness

Key specifications

• Working width: 150 mm
• Blade material: stainless steel
• Tooth size: 8 x 8 mm
• Blade profile: trapezoidal

How to use

Prepare the substrate according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions: clean, level and, if required, prime the surface. Scoop or pour the adhesive onto the substrate and use the flat side of the trowel to roughly spread material. Hold the handle firmly and tilt the trowel to a consistent angle, then comb the adhesive with the notched edge to create uniform ridges. Set tiles or panels into the ridged adhesive, applying even pressure to achieve full contact and proper bedding. Clean the trowel after use to prevent adhesive buildup and preserve the stainless steel surface.

Usage recommendations

Choose the 8x8 mm tooth size for medium bed adhesives and medium-size tiles; for very large-format tiles or heavily textured substrates, consider a larger notch size. Store the trowel dry and clean to maintain the stainless surface and flat edge. Inspect the blade regularly for deformation and replace the tool if the notches or edge become worn to ensure consistent adhesive thickness.
