Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mini pollew?

A pollew is a notched trowel used to spread mortar, render or adhesive with an even, ridged finish. A mini pollew is the smaller version, sized for precise control in plastering and rendering work. The notch on the edge sets the depth and spacing of the ridges as you pull the tool across the surface.

What does the 11mm notch mean?

The 11mm square-cut notch is the size and shape of the teeth on the blade edge. It produces 11mm deep ridges of material, which gives a controlled layer thickness for bonding. Matching the notch size to the material and the job is what gets a consistent result.

Why the jumbo wooden core handle?

The jumbo wooden core gives a larger, more comfortable grip that is easier to hold during extended use, and the yellow stripe makes the tool quick to spot on site so it does not get lost in the tool box. Wooden cores are also warm and comfortable to hold compared to bare metal.

What is the difference between a pollew and a trowel?

A trowel has a flat, smooth blade for spreading and smoothing, while a pollew has a notched edge that lays down even ridges of material. The notches set the thickness and spacing of the ridges, which is what you need before bonding tiles, render or plaster to a surface.
