As any professional tiler knows, tiling is more than just hooking up your Ridgid R4040 8โณ wet tile saw and getting to work. โBack butteringโ is a necessary process, particularly for larger tile. Typically, this is done by applying setting material (thinset) to the tile while rotating it in your hand. With larger jobs, that can get tiring really fast, and thereโs the potential for injury from dropping a tile. With its 360 degree spinning capability, the Back Butter Buddy tile and thinnest tool by Primo Tools simplifies the back buttering process.
Back Butter Buddy Features
This non-slip โlazy-susan-styleโ product simply fits on the top of a standard 3.5 or 5 gallon bucket and can support up to 200 lbs. of stacked tiles. Theย Back Butter Buddyย is one of those tools that was invented by a contractorโyou can tell because itโs immensely practical. You just place the tile on it upside down, applyย a thin coating of thinsetย with your Hart Quick-Tatch trowel and lay it down.
The Back Butter Buddy sells for $29.97 at Amazon.com and other retailers.
