    For best results

    • Match the notch to what your adhesive label calls for, not to habit.
    • Work in small areas so the ridges are still wet when the tile goes down.
    • Read the adhesive label for ventilation and keep a window open while you spread.

    How to use

    1. Step 1Spread a layer of adhesive over a small section with the flat edge.
    2. Step 2Comb through it with the notched edge held at a steady angle.
    3. Step 3Set the tile into the ridges before the adhesive skins over.
    4. Step 4Scrape the spreader clean before the adhesive hardens on it.

    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.
