why are round notched trowels not easy to buy?
Everywhere i go seems to have only square notch trowels. I want to use a round notched 8mm trowel to lay insulation board and a 10mm one to lay tiles (managed to get the 10mm) but the 8 is proving very hard to find! any reason? should i just use a square notch? pros cons?- dantheram

notched trowels
Hi guys, As we are all aware, tile and substrate dependant. The notches either grow or lessen.. How many do you carry in your tool collection? I carry about 7, all hung on the side of a gorilla bucket :smilewinkgrin:- High Peak Tiling

rubi 45 degree trowels
I would just like to do a small review on these. They are completly useless! I can't stress this enough! From applying the adhesive to cleaning to using in harmony with your bucket trowel to move your adhesive around, it fails on every level! I'm baffled to see what the whole point of it...- charlie1
