Stainless Steel Notched Trowel Kubala 130x270 mm, 8x8 mm Notch

Stainless Steel Notched Trowel Kubala 130x270 mm, 8x8 mm Notch is a hand tool with a flat stainless steel blade and square 8 x 8 mm notches. The 130 x 270 mm plate provides a sufficiently wide working surface for applying adhesives, tile adhesives and mortars. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and keeps the blade flat for even application of materials.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade delivers durability and ease of cleaning while maintaining a smooth, flat surface for uniform material distribution. Square 8 x 8 mm notches produce consistent ridges that improve tile and flooring adhesion and control material consumption. The tool size balances coverage and manoeuvrability, making it suitable for both smaller areas and detail work where a reliable notch profile is required.

Suitable for

• Applying tile adhesives for wall and floor tiling
• Spreading thin-set mortar and cementitious adhesives
• Levelling and bonding in flooring and mosaic installations
• General masonry and adhesive application where controlled ridge height is needed

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Blade dimensions: 130 x 270 mm working plate
• Notch shape and size: square notches, 8 x 8 mm
• Edge finish: notched edge for consistent ridge formation
• Typical use: suitable for adhesives, mortars and tile-setting materials

How to use

Prepare the substrate according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is clean, dry and structurally sound. Load an appropriate amount of adhesive onto the blade and hold the trowel at a consistent angle to the surface—commonly 45 degrees—to form even ridges with the 8 x 8 mm notches. Apply material in a steady motion to achieve uniform coverage; comb back over any high spots if necessary. For larger tiles or heavier adhesives, consider using a double buttering technique (apply adhesive to both substrate and tile) as required by the product being installed.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the stainless steel blade after use to prevent hardened adhesive build-up and to maintain the notch profile. Use the 8 x 8 mm notched trowel for medium-thickness adhesives and tile sizes recommended by the adhesive manufacturer; when working with very large or heavy tiles, verify recommended notch size before use to ensure adequate coverage and bonding.
