Genesis Tiger trowel - TilersForums.com

I have been trying out the Genesis Tiger trowel, yes the wobble notch item.
It is said to enable you to get a solid bed of adhesive. In the past I have tried the Rubi 45 degree notch and the Raimondi slant notch but this is by far the best. It doesnt use as much adhesive as you would think and in my tests gave a solid bed of adhesive.
My only issue was the handle, while it seemed fine when holding it at first, as my hands became wet from water and adhesive it became harder to hold. Wasnt a major problem and maybe it was more because I was used to the Rubi handles.

Also a lot easier to clean than the other ones I have tried.

what size tiles did you use it on Neale ? and are you still back buttering as well as using the wobble notch

 

[Andy Allen]

I seen them in my local tile shop, roughly how many m2 were you getting out of a 20kg bag of adhesive ? Looked to me like you wouldn't get many.

 

[Jeff the tiler]

Sir Ramic. Wall or floor? What size did you use, if they do different sizes?

 

[Gazzer]

Floor , only one size.

 

[Jeff the tiler]

Sir Ramic you said it was the best over some others new shapes out there but would you use it over your standard Rubi trowel?
