Applying resin to uneven tiles can be tricky without the right approach. Using suitable tools helps you achieve a level, professional finish even with deep grout lines or textured surfaces.
Notched Spatulas: Essential for Smoothing Resin
A notched spatula, such as the Tooth Shaped Spatula for Epoxy Resin Application, is ideal for spreading resin over irregular tiles. The notched edge distributes resin evenly, letting it flow smoothly across raised and recessed areas. This not only saves time but also reduces surface defects like bubbles and uneven patches.
- Speeds up application on both small and large surfaces
- Minimises build-up in grout lines
- Great for both DIY and professional projects
Rollers: Achieving a Uniform Finish
Application rollers are very effective over uneven tiled floors. Short-pile rollers provide control and accuracy for detail work, while larger rollers cover big areas quickly. Sponge rollers aid self-levelling, helping your resin settle into dips and over ridges with minimal streaks. For best results, use a roller designed for resin, like those in our Resin & Paint Application Rollers range.
Preparing the Surface for Success
Pairing the right tools with a quality primer creates better adhesion and reduces the chance of flaws. Before applying resin, use a specialist primer such as Epoxyprimer for best bonding on tiles. Surface prep ensures the resin flows and cures as intended, especially on floors with varying heights.
When This Matters
If your tiled floor has deep grout lines or a pronounced texture, suitable spatulas and rollers are key to avoiding air pockets and pinholes. Investing in the correct tools makes resin application much more manageable and improves the final finish.
