A tool for spreading bonding compound simultaneously on two planar surfaces which intersect along a common border includes a wedge-shaped applicator having first and second applicator blades meeting at a substantially right angle along a linear vertex, the blades extending away from the vertex and terminating at opposite lateral sides, the wedge-shaped applicator having an interior portion defined within the substantially right angle. Also included is a handle for gripping the tool connected to proximal ends of the blades. The blades have forward edges disposed opposite the proximal ends, where the forward edges have outside surfaces to facilitate application of the bonding compound. A flexible applicator strip is disposed along a portion of the forward edges. The first and second applicator blades each have a bent corner that causes the outside surfaces of the forward edges to bend forward in a direction away from the interior portion of the applicator blade. The bent corner causes the flexible applicator strip to bend therewith forming a bent flexible contour such that the flexible contour assumes a substantially linear shape when forced into contact with the planar surfaces and advanced along the planar surfaces by the handle. Thus, the flexible contour facilitates smooth application of the bonding compound to the two planar surfaces simultaneously.
