Adhesive/spatula trowel with teeth 200 mm (10×10 mm) Polax

Polax 200 mm adhesive/spatula trowel with 10×10 mm square notches is a hand tool designed for spreading tile adhesive, thinset, and construction adhesives evenly across substrates. The 200 mm blade and regular 10×10 mm notches form uniform ridges that help achieve consistent coverage and proper bonding for wall and floor tile installations and other adhesive applications.

Advantages

The notched pattern ensures a predictable mortar bed thickness and even distribution, reducing air pockets and improving tile adhesion. The 200 mm blade size allows efficient coverage on medium-sized surfaces while retaining control for edges and corners. The tool’s rigid back and engineered notch geometry provide straight, parallel ridges to simplify tile placement and levelling. It is lightweight and easy to handle for extended use.

Suitable for

• Applying tile adhesive and thinset on walls and floors
• Spreading construction adhesives for bonding panels and boards
• Creating uniform adhesive ridges for ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles
• General renovation and tiling tasks requiring controlled adhesive thickness

Key specifications

• Blade width: 200 mm
• Notch shape: square
• Notch size: 10 × 10 mm
• Intended use: spreading adhesives and fillers for tiling and construction
• Typical ridge profile: consistent, parallel ridges for even bonding

How to use

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry and suitable for tiling or bonding. Apply a bead or a ribbon of adhesive onto the surface and use the flat side of the trowel to key the material in, then hold the trowel at a consistent angle and draw it across the surface so the 10×10 mm notches form regular ridges. For full-bed coverage, adjust the trowel angle to collapse the ridges as needed or back-butter tiles when appropriate. Clean the trowel periodically during work to maintain notch definition and even ridges.

Usage recommendations

Use the 200 mm notched trowel on surfaces appropriate for this notch size—typically medium-sized tiles and standard adhesives. Match notch size to tile size and adhesive type for optimal bonding; for large or heavy tiles consider a larger notch profile or supplementary back-buttering. Rinse and remove adhesive residue soon after use to prevent clogging of the notches.
