G-Force 3/16 in. V-Notched Trowel by overall size of  9 in. X 4 in. is used for applying thin-set mortar and other adhesives to a surface to install materials like tile, engineered wood flooring, and vinyl, as well as for installing cove base and some types of mosaics. The distinctive V-shaped notches ensure an even, ridged application of adhesive, which then compresses to create a complete and strong bond when the material is pressed into it.  Using the 3/16 in. V-Notched Trowel can be crucial for achieving the right amount of adhesive coverage before application of materials to the surface.
