Hey bud I just did a job 8in x 4ft tile. I used spin doctor for the first time. Up to the grouting stage I was happy. But i knocked the stems out the next day on half the job and on the third day grouted and found that the spin doctors were forcing the tile under pressure and ends began popping up. I troweld and back buttered and never thought this would happen. The company set the job to install over a ardexed plywood that previously had smaller tile. Any idea why this happened and how to prevent it...

That link leads to a completely different tile levelling system which works on a wholly different principle.

Been a residential remodeler for over a decade. First used these 6 months ago on a large job for my new business. I'll never install large format tile again without these. Made the 24"x24" tiles go down completely flat and level. You can slide a 5 gallon bucket 30 feet across the tile without it catching a lip. Truly amazing. Saves so much time.

[@HellNoMoreBiden]

I'm familiar with getting cement to the correct consistency as I've been a mason for too long. A question I'm trying to cut a corner and removing my tub. Just having the space now a shower with 17" square tiles. Have a marine plywood floor. Before I put down the top bed ready to tile, could I use a wall board cut to size and screw it down like crazy instead of doing it by hand? Then put the 40 mil plastic down and then trowel it as it should be for the tile?

[@Titantitan001]

@@HellNoMoreBiden im so confused by the question can you clarify more?

[@HellNoMoreBiden]

@@Titantitan001 I just did it the right way and just troweled it to slope to the drain and it does drain the water. I didn't want to make a mistake. Any flexing could cause a leak if I put wall cement board on the floor.

These are awesome instructional videos. Minimal talk, clear explanation of the content and easy to watch in one sitting. Thanks for all you do!

[@m.family4058]

I learned something new. Will be applying it to my bathroom renovation project. Thank you.

[@311mdub]

Having done tile for several years now on my own projects and projects for friends and family, Ive always used the wedge system, never the spindal, but plan on trying the spindal for my shower remodel coming soon! Awesome to see how the mud adheres with each system via the clear tiles. Awesome stuff brother! Appreciate it!

[@temtagesson5274]

Wish I had these in 2004 when I installed large tile in my bathroom. Thanks for the instruction.

[@stevenm.6886]

This is the first I’ve heard of these systems. Holy crap! Game changer here. I’m not up on the latest for sure, I’ll be loading up on these! Excellent demonstration, thanks!

[@MonaichFother]

I've also used a box of wooden matches these last decades at a cost of 50c/p for the whole job :)

[@YouTubehndl]

Thanks for the tip on removing the extra thin set from the edges. That explains why I was having trouble with compressing the trowel lines on the bottom of my first row of tile on my bathtub (large format). Luckily I was smart enough to pull them off the wall and try again today after watching some videos

[@lembergnative7731]

I second that. Such a simple thing, I don't why I didn't think of it...

[@gwamel666]

Hello mate, Pro Tiler from England here. Just a little tip. Tile lippage clips help on near enough flat walls and floors, but some DIYers might watch this and use these on bumpy surfaces which is when problems occur, as the clips either raise up the previous low tile or bring down a raised tile, creating air sockets underneath. All you need to do is knock on the tile and you will hear the hollow points. Also dont knock the clips out with a rubber mallet especially on a lighter ceramic tile as the mallet can leave black marks which are a pain to clean off. Polished porcelain you might get away with but just a tip. Good luck mate wish you all the best 👍

[@mart9585]

Interesting to hear from a professional! Do you use a levelling system yourself? And why do you/do you not use it? Just being curious :D

[@AllBayEveryDay]

@@mart9585 I’ve been tiling 11 years. I only use self leveling clips for anything larger than 12x24 because it helps to keep the tile plum and level. The cons to using it are if the wall isn’t plumb or flat than it will cause voids in the thinset behind the tile and causing the tile not to adhere properly.

[@rlwickland5396]

Awesome point . Level or grind the high spots first . Good on ya

[@sdaniels7114]

@@AllBayEveryDay The clips don't cause that the poor substrate does.

Great straight-forward demo and illustration on using leveling clips! Thank you!

[@MAGAMAN]

I started a tile job using the home depot wedges. After about 10 foot by 10 foot area switched to the screw on Marshalltown leveling system. The Marshalltown are easy to install and if you have a problem they are easy to back off to either remove or add more mortar if needed, The wedges have a tendency to grab the tile and push them apart if you are using a grippy tile. The tool will also wreck your hand if you use it a lot. While these to a good job of keeping the edges of the tiles even, you can still have an uneven floor when you are done, which will show up when you install baseboard. Always check your tiles with a level to make sure you have them flat and even with each other. Both do have the occasional tendency to not break off cleanly as you can see right here 8:56 where he says they break off cleanly, when they clearly did not. The little piece of plastic can be cleaned up with a multi tool or a sharp razor knife, just be very careful to to chip the tile.

I use spin doctors exclusively and they are killer,you forgot to mention using a cap to run between tiles to check lippage and break a post of the base is ideal for cleaning grout lines.and one should always especially LFT use a rubber mallet and smack each tile a bunch from center out to release air it’s unreal how much is trapped great videos non the less,thank you!!

Hi mate, I like your vids. Nice and to the point. Have you ever used the Levolution system? I am using it on a job now and struggling. Only one spacer instead of four at every crossing. Looks nice but doesn't have the strength to hold four tiles at the same time, plus the tensioning tool's handle snapped after three days! Going with the wedges on the next job, thanks to you.
