Putty knife with serrated edge Polax 250 mm blade, 8x8 mm teeth (model 111-063)

Polax putty knife model 111-063 has a 250 mm metal blade with 8x8 mm serrated teeth designed to apply adhesives, tile mortars and levelling compounds. The serrated edge distributes material into an even bead and helps achieve a consistent layer thickness when installing tiles, bonding panels or spreading adhesives on walls and floors. The tool is suitable for professional tradespeople and DIY users who need control and repeatable results when working with viscous construction materials.

Advantages

The 250 mm blade provides a wide working area to cover larger sections with fewer passes while the metal construction offers rigidity and durability during repeated use. The 8x8 mm serrations create uniform grooves that improve material adhesion and thickness control. The compact profile and balanced weight give better handling when working vertically on walls or horizontally on floors, reducing operator fatigue and improving application speed and accuracy.

Suitable for

• Applying tile adhesive and thinset mortar
• Spreading construction adhesives and contact glues
• Applying levelling compounds and smoothing underlays
• Adhesive work for wall panels and flooring installations

Key specifications

• Blade length: 250 mm
• Serration size: 8 x 8 mm teeth
• Blade material: metal
• Edge type: serrated for notched application

How to use

Prepare the substrate according to the material manufacturer's instructions, ensuring surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust or loose particles. Dispense the chosen adhesive or mortar onto the substrate and hold the putty knife at a consistent angle to the surface while pulling the serrated edge across the material to form even grooves. For tile installations, use the serrated face to create ridges that promote full contact; adjust the angle or pressure to control bead thickness. Clean the blade promptly after use to prevent material buildup and maintain serration effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the 8x8 mm serration to the thickness requirements of your adhesive or tile size; larger tiles and heavier adhesives typically benefit from deeper notches. Store the tool dry and inspect the blade regularly for deformation or clogging of the serrations. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with adhesives and mortars.
