Raimondi Flow-Ridge Notch Trowel, 11 x 5-Inch, 5/16-Inch Notch (TR516FR)

The Raimondi Flow-Ridge Notch Trowel features slanted, rounded notches that create collapsible adhesive ridges. As tile is placed, the ridges overlap and collapse in a domino-style effect to help improve adhesive coverage across the back of the tile.

The rounded notch design helps prevent adhesive from binding in the corners and pulling apart the ridges during application. An anti-slip rubber handle provides a comfortable grip while spreading adhesive.
