    About this product

    Which notch do you need for glued hardwood?

    Glue-down hardwood sits on a heavier adhesive bed than carpet, so the notch on the spreader has to be deeper. This Homax spreader has 3/16 inch notches across an 8 inch blade, and it comes in orange, which sets it apart from the yellow carpet and tile spreaders in the same line.

    You comb the adhesive out in sections and set the boards into the ridges. The body is high impact polystyrene, light in the hand and sturdy enough to clean and reuse on the next room. Clean it fully after each use, since hardened adhesive left in the notches changes the bed you lay.
