What trowel do you use for SLC in the
Tile Adhesive, Grout and Substrate Preparation at TilersForums;
Just wondered what trowel type you all preferred for spreading SLC. Square/pointed etc. This is what I use and find it easy to use and get a nice finish.

Re: What trowel do you use for SLC
It depends on a few things, area, depth, water or milk, ufh heating blah blah blah, larger areas then spiked roller if the depth allows it, smaller areas, notched trowel, both sides.
