This Genesis adhesive comb spreads tile adhesive into a uniform ribbed pattern, ensuring the tile makes contact across the entire surface and no voids are left behind. The teeth are 8x8 mm and the blade measures 280x130 mm.
Product & function
This Genesis adhesive comb spreads tile adhesive into a uniform ribbed pattern, ensuring the tile makes contact across the entire surface and no voids are left behind.
Application & compatibility
Intended for applying tile adhesive to walls and floors. The size of the teeth determines how much adhesive remains: the larger the tile size and the rougher the substrate, the coarser the teeth should be.
Usage & key points
- First, spread the adhesive evenly using the flat side of the comb.
- Then, draw the toothed side through the adhesive at a uniform angle.
- Work in one direction so that the ridges run parallel and air can escape when embedding the tile.
- Clean the comb before the adhesive hardens; hardened adhesive is extremely difficult to remove.

Frequently asked questions
Which teeth size do I need? As a rule of thumb: the larger the tile, the coarser the teeth should be. Fine teeth are sufficient for small wall tiles, while larger floor tiles require coarser teeth. Also check the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations.
How do I clean the comb? Rinse with water immediately after use. Do not allow the adhesive to harden on the blade, as this will prevent a uniform ribbed pattern.
Can I continue using a worn comb? It is better not to. Worn teeth apply less adhesive than you might think, which can cause voids to form under the tile.
Can the comb also be used for tiling walls? Yes. Work from the bottom up and hold the comb at a constant angle to maintain a uniform layer thickness.
