Displaceable floor trowel

A method for applying a flowable material to a floor surface with a displaceable floor trowel, comprising:

• providing the flowable material to a body of the floor trowel;
• displacing the body on the floor surface to guide the flowable material through an opening in a rear of the body;
• and
• engaging a bottom application edge of a blade of the floor trowel with the flowable material exiting the opening as the body is displaced, including maintaining an orientation of the bottom application edge in alignment with an adjacent reference surface and at a constant height with respect thereto, the orientation of the bottom application edge varying independently of a profile of the floor surface;
• wherein maintaining the orientation of the bottom application edge in alignment with the adjacent reference surface includes engaging a levelling arm rigidly connected to the blade with the reference surface in two locations spaced apart along a direction transverse to a displacement direction of the body.

• wherein displacing the body comprises engaging a second blade with the flowable material to apply a primer of the flowable material to the floor surface prior to the flowable material exiting the opening.
