Frequently Asked Questions about RUBI Trowels, Combs and Spatulas

What’s the difference between using smooth Rubi trowels and notched trowels when laying tiles?

The difference lies in what each one does. The smooth trowel is used to scoop mortar from the bucket and spread it over the wall or floor. The Rubi notched trowel is used right afterward to make grooves with its teeth; those grooves allow the tile to bed properly, release trapped air, and sit perfectly level when pressed.

When do you need to use Rubi rubber trowels instead of metal ones?

They are used only for grouting, that is, to push grout into the gaps between tiles. Because they are made of flexible rubber, they press the mixture into the joint without scratching the visible surface of the ceramic or chipping the edges when working with rectified porcelain tiles.

What should I do to keep a Rubi trowel from rusting if I don’t use it often?

The main thing is never to put it away dirty or damp. Wash it with water as soon as you finish using it, then dry it thoroughly with a cloth. If the blade isn’t stainless steel, apply a few drops of oil or spray lubricant to both sides before putting it in the tool drawer.

What tooth size do I need for Rubi trowels for large-format flooring?

For large formats over 60x60 cm, it’s best to use a trowel with 10x10 mm or 12x12 mm notches and apply the double-buttering technique (mortar on the floor and on the back of the tile). This ensures that the tile adhesive covers at least 85% of the base and the tile won’t break if something heavy falls on it.

Is it worth paying more for a Rubiflex handle if I’m only going to do a repair at home?

Yes, it’s worth it because the difference in feel is enormous. The Rubiflex grip doesn’t slip even if your hands are covered in mortar or sweaty, and it absorbs much of the strain on your wrist when pressing. If you’re not used to masonry work, you’ll notice a big difference right away.
