Just fininshed 60m2 floor using 600x600mm porcelain.

Tried out new trowel from rubi 10mm notch set at 45 degrees.

Absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic bedding, 100 percent coverage, cannot fault.

anyone else used it?

This must the new woggle trowel is it..

not used it or seen it to be honest does tradetiler sell them?

Sounds like it might be a bit of a Raimondi slant ridge rip off??

I don't use anything else on floors now Andy Incredibly easy to clean as well

These are the fellows

Where you buying them Andy?

will post pic's tomorrow if i remember!

looks different to the other trowels posted.

best way to describe is a normal square notched trowel where some one has got a set of grips on the notches and bent them 45 degrees

did you use more adhesive than the standard 10mm trowel???

My mate is right handed, but preferes a left handed trowel. He says its easier to keep a 90 deg angle

quite often Phil, I resort to left handedness even though I'm predominantly right handed. I turn trowel round back to front.

Doug my mate always says, he would give his right arm, to be ambidextrous

I saw a trowel in my local suppliers the other day, best I can descibe is like z notched, supposed to give a solid bed but save on addy (?)I'd imagine that the addy would fold over and leave voids trapped tho'. I might get one and use it on a dry area wall and see how it performs

I did not use more adhesive than a normal 10mm trowel.

As the tile was a large format i normally back each tile with a tight coat of adhesive as well as spreading to floor areas to ensure excellent coverage.

When i lifted up a few of the tiles to check coverage i pretty much had 100 percent coverage without backing.

much quicker and cleaner

happy days

OK took some time for Rubi to get us some - Now in stock!!

I use these bad boys for all my floors and i love em! As for the kack handed tilers out there, i try and use me left hand too...... so it seems like someone else is tiling the floor for me!

are they easy enough to use, seems a bit odd having the notches set at an angle?

Agree Doug, might have to have a play with one if they turn up in my local tile shop
