Stainless Steel Notched Trowel MODECO MN-73-410, Wooden Handle, 280×130×10 mm

The MODECO stainless steel notched trowel with wooden handle (dimensions 280×130×10 mm) is designed for applying and distributing tile adhesives, mortars and levelling compounds with consistent notch spacing. The stainless steel blade provides durability and resistance to corrosion while the wooden handle offers a comfortable, firm grip for extended use. The notched edge ensures even adhesive thickness and uniform coverage for floor and wall tiling tasks.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction resists rust and deformation, maintaining a flat working surface over time. The wooden handle reduces hand fatigue and improves control during repetitive spreading movements. The standardized notch pattern produces consistent adhesive ridges, which helps achieve reliable bonding and predictable material consumption. The trowel’s overall dimensions balance reach and manoeuvrability for both small and larger tile formats.

Suitable for

• Applying and combing tile adhesives on floors and walls
• Spreading thinset mortar and levelling compounds
• Preparing substrates for ceramic, porcelain and stone tiles
• Tasks requiring consistent adhesive thickness and coverage

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Handle material: wood for ergonomic grip
• Overall dimensions: 280 × 130 × 10 mm
• Notched edge: uniform notch pattern for controlled adhesive thickness
• Suitable surfaces: concrete, cement screed, heated floors and prepared backer boards

How to use

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry and free of dust, loose particles and contaminants before starting. Apply an even layer of adhesive to the substrate and use the notched edge to comb the adhesive into uniform ridges, holding the trowel at a consistent angle to control the ridge height. Press tiles into the combed adhesive with a slight twisting motion to collapse the ridges and achieve full contact. Clean the blade and notches regularly during work to maintain consistent application and prevent buildup.

Usage recommendations

Choose the notch size appropriate to the tile size and adhesive type to obtain the correct adhesive layer thickness. For large-format or heavy tiles, use a larger notch and ensure full contact by back-buttering tiles when necessary. After use, rinse the trowel with water and dry the wooden handle to prolong service life.
