    yes but the front is flat so as to easily scrape adhesive from floor of bucket,and more trianular ,and use a good briklayers trowel with a longish handle,,As I have done this to ordinary bucket trowels and just find the longer more shapely ones converted from brick laying trowels are more effective.
