Does the direction of the glue for the wall tiles need to be running vertically so that the water will run between the channels? Thanks

Good question @geoffstein3896 - The main thing here is ensuring you are keeping the notches unidirectional. If you fan the adhesive or alter directions there is a greater chance you cannot collapse the notch voids properly and end up with voids. No specific requirement for this one but it is preferable to choose the best direction which will allow proper Tarver method notch collapsing.
