Half size trowel.... - TilersForums.com

[Simons70]

I cut trowels when I need, even for skirting. Some trowels for mosaic I make even the dentures more big if needed

 

[One Day]

I do probably one splashback per month, I don't mind them. The margin trowels have the handle going the other way more like a bucket trowel with notches ?

Yes, that's right.

 

[Blunt Tool]

I'm a tiler wether it is small, large, walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchens, conservatory, sun lounge, inside, outside, large format, mosaics, ceramic, porcelain, natural stone ..........whatever, that is my profession and how I pay my bills and keep a roof over my family's head.

The notched margin trowel from Tradetiler is handy

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I think it was oldtimer John who said, he leaves splashbacks to diyers and beginners

If you are referencing me - @ timeless john - then I may well have said exactly that.
Most customers don't want to pay full day wages for small meterage projects and so it is a market that attracts those new to our trade who can gain experience without the risk of undertaking areas beyond their capabilities.
It does however makes me ask the question why do 'professional' Tilers turn out such poor quality tiling, grouting and mitring of trim, when they do this work. Are they rushing it or conning the customer with their title?
