Genesis Tiger trowel - Tile Advice

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Do they do a small notch tiger for mosaic or not ????

Not that I've ever seen...

I've been using them for over a year, rarely anything else. The first one I bought wore down with use so now I have two sizes! Great trowel...

Been using one for three years and the best trowel I have ever used and I've tried them all ! Uses a little bit more adhesive but the benefits are worth it !

Hi sorry for hijack, is the genesis tiger trowel suitable most tiles and locations? Ceramic tiles 360x270mm on plasterboard and marmox bathroom and shower walls? 457mm sq Travertine floor tiles on Ditra 25?
Thanks Ed

It's a solid-bed trowel by the sounds of it. I've never seen or used one. Brilliant for floors or uneven walls, but perhaps an overkill when it comes to flat surfaces like plasterboard and Marmox. For those areas you could do with a 10mm square notch or even maybe 6mm (for walls only mind).

Buy one get one free at CTD at the moment. 10mm. Got 2 a couple of weeks ago but not used them yet. £8.34 inc vat....... £4.17 each!

Would the Tiger trowel be suitable for 800x800x8 porcelain floor tiles? Currently having problems with ridges not collapsing using a regular 12mm notch on the floor & 6mm on the tile.
