Stainless Steel Notched Trowel Kubala KB 2613 130x270 mm, 6x6 mm notch

Kubala stainless steel notched trowel KB 2613 measures 130 x 270 mm and features a 6 x 6 mm square notch to create uniform ribs when spreading adhesives, tile mortars and other bonding compounds. The compact paddle is intended for precise application where controlled adhesive thickness and even coverage are required. Its stainless steel blade resists corrosion and maintains a flat working surface, while the notch geometry produces consistent material ridges that improve adhesion and set thickness.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction offers durability and resistance to rust, ensuring a long service life in wet or alkaline environments typical for tile and flooring work. The 6 x 6 mm square notch yields regular adhesive grooves for dependable bonding and thickness control. The medium-size blade balances reach and manoeuvrability, making the tool easy to use in both open areas and tighter spots.

Suitable for

• Applying tile adhesive and thinset mortar
• Spreading cement-based adhesives for floor and wall coverings
• Renovation and repair work where controlled adhesive layers are needed
• Small to medium tiling jobs and patching

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel
• Blade dimensions: 130 x 270 mm
• Notch shape and size: square 6 x 6 mm
• Intended use: producing uniform adhesive grooves and controlled layer thickness

How to use

Ensure substrate surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust, grease or loose particles. Apply the adhesive or mortar to the substrate and hold the trowel at a consistent angle, typically between 45° and 60°, then spread the material using even strokes to form regular ribs with the 6 x 6 mm square notches. Work in manageable areas to prevent premature skinning of the adhesive, and press tiles or coverings into the ridged mortar to achieve full contact and correct bedding depth.

Usage recommendations

Clean the trowel promptly after use to prevent material buildup; use water for fresh cementitious adhesives and a suitable solvent if recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Select this 6 x 6 mm notch size for medium-bed installations and when the product datasheet of the adhesive specifies this notch size for the tile and substrate combination.
