About this product
A deep notch for heavy tile
Heavy ceramic tile needs a thick, even bed of adhesive under it, and the notch on your trowel sets that thickness. The Homax 8 inch Adhesive Spreader carries a 3/8 inch notch, the deepest in this group of spreaders, for setting heavy tile and for vinyl and tile flooring.
It is made of solvent-proof yellow plastic built for heavy use, so it holds its shape in adhesive. A reinforced handle gives you a longer reach, and beveled edges get into corners. The label on the tool names the notch size and its use, so you can grab the right one from a crowded bucket.
The flooring trowels shelf holds 5 more products beside the Adhesive Spreader, 8 in, 3/8 in Notch, and every one belongs to the Homax texture and repair range.
