    Default 45 degree trowels..Good or bad?

    Quite like the idea of these towels but have never used them or know anyone who has used them. Only worry I have is there square notches so can't be used in wet areas or on floors as they will not give 100% coverage.

    What's your thoughts are they any good or recommended?

    Is there any thoughts on these..?

    Hold your trowel at the right angle and don't waste your hard earned pennies.

    45 degree notch trowels in my own opinion are far superior to traditional square notch patterns due to the coverage and bed they give. I also find that troweling is smoother and more flowing with the 45 notches.

    Thats not to say square notch trowels dont work, as obivisouly we know they do, its just like comparing a Ferrari with a Ford. both will get you from A to B, but each will do it a bit differently.

    I have the raimondi.

    I have the raimondi trowels. They are superb imo. You get better coverage achieved more easily too. They dont rust and are easy to clean. Just watch your pinkys as they can double up as a stanley knife.

    I don't think so what this trowel gives easiest way of working process... The difference is what angle you hold trowel and that's it,this does not affect on the layer of glue that you apply.
