Primo U-Notch Trowel – 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 in. Notch, 4 x 11 in. Blade
The Primo U-Notch Trowel is a tile and stone setting trowel used to comb adhesive to an even bed, with a U Notch measuring 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 in., on a 4 x 11 in. carbon steel blade. BOE builds it with a weld riveted shank and a soft grip handle, in the P2 Better Quality tier. A U notch lays down a rounded ridge that collapses more evenly than a square ridge, which helps it wet out the back of the tile without trapping air.
The notch dimensions, not the handle, are what you are choosing here — a trowel with a different notch size lays a different amount of adhesive and is a different tool. Check the notch against the tile and the adhesive manufacturer's coverage requirement before ordering.
