Can I get one of those shirts I'll tell them landberg tile TV hook me up size XXL

[@teh60]

I like the glass panel demonstration. It really shows the coverage and how the ridges collapse. Great review on the trowel selection.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thanks!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Blue ox euro trowels are awesome! Nice demonstration!

[@vinnied.1239]

What do you think the resulting bed is of the euro notch? In the glass panel demo it looked a bit thinner than the 1/2 in square. Maybe between 1/2 sq and 1/4 x 3/8 x 1/4 or basically the same and I’m seeing it wrong

[@AZRockRunner]

So what's the difference between the last two except for the price?

[@honiswagner7674]

I looked through your videos for info on thin sets but didn't see one. So many to choose from. Example Mapei : They have many different products for large tile format. Big price difference for what looks like the same product description on different bags. Thanks and good work!

[@junangeles]

helped me a lot deciding what size to use for my backsplash project thank you for this!

[@allistonrental5073]

Great video, very informative. Thank you for taking the time to educate us

[@LandbergTileTV]

My pleasure!

[@eagleking3362]

Thanks for your explanation

[@davidbuche]

Picked up Rubi Pro trowels at Home Depot (1/8 x 1/8, 1/4 x 13/32) for under $14. Hope Rubi makes quality trowels. Also got a QEP 1/2 square stainless for $8, felt ok in the hand

[@randolphpinkle4482]

This man sounds exactly like Dan Akyroyd in Trading Places.

[@stevenmcquade]

I'm glad you're making good videos. The only other contractor I recommend on KZbin would be Sal De Blasi. There are so many hacks on KZbin it's not even funny. I like watching Uncle Sal he's got a funny lisp with a New England accent.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Gotta love Sal! Been watching his channel for 5 years now!

[@sonofthunder.]

love the mini,just used it in a niche like that

[@alexlopez6660]

Great video. My first time in this channel. Subscribed and thumbs up plus notifications after I SAW YOUR WATCH!!! Not afraid Of getting duty = real deal

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thanks for the watch, sub and support! and yes, I get dirty 👊

[@Titantitan001]

Isnt Euro suggested for extremely large format? Like 4 foot tiles?

[@maydanlex]

Nice

[@mikeganard6751]

What’s the difference between the regular 1/8 trowel and a v notch trowel? Can they both be used for smaller tile or is one better then the other?

[@mikeganard6751]

@landbergtiletv

[@gefflynn7171]

Landberg! Great vids! I am installing 12" glass octagon mosaic tile in my alcove bath/shower. What trowel / technique do you recommend? Thx

[@blackmanwv]

I would like to know your method for storage and transportation of tools and material like clips, spacers and everything else needed on the job.

[@LandbergTileTV]

That would be a great video! Thanks for the idea!

[@454Casull]

Great stuff with the glass tile. What about u-notch trowels?

[@Cacophony314]

What's the minimum thickness the trowel notch can be for a 10mm thick tile. I'm trying to level it with pre-existing tiles that are a lot thinner (5mm) with 6mm thinset projection for a total of an 11mm projection. Not sure if it'll hold if I butter it too thin. It's a tumbled marble mosaic 10mm thick.

[@jcsego1370]

What do you think about superior bilt premium trowel ?

[@LandbergTileTV]

good trowel!

[@Joe-ip2ky]

Thanks for the great vid, what do you recommend for 6x36 porcelain tiles ? 1/4x3/8 or 1/2x1/2 ?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thanks! We use 1/2 " by 1/2 "

[@Joe-ip2ky]

@@LandbergTileTV thanks, Have a good one !

[@ДмитрийДёмин-п3я]

Супер!

[@smallnuts2]

I though a 1/4 by 3/8 was for 12"x12" tile ?

[@TILEROB]

Can I get one of those shirts in a XXL I'll tell them landberg tile tv hooked me up

[@LandbergTileTV]

Sorry brother, I don't have the shirts. They are in the link of the description.

[@johnmulderrig9516]

I'm installing 6"x12" marble tiles on a wall as a fireplace surround. Going by size I was going to use a 1/4-Inch by 3/8-Inch trowel but each tile weighs slightly less than 3 pounds. Should I step up to the 1/2". And which for the floor in front of the firebox?

[@johnmulderrig9516]

I forgot to mention, I'll be using Mapai LFT mortar.

[@BlueOriginAire]

That pushing from side to side... is underrated. It does help to get the damn thing to stick permanently.

[@AF335iE92]

John Cena?

[@ДмитрийДёмин-п3я]

Хоть на английском не понимаю,)))но всё абсолютно понятно

[@robertdoyle240]

Awesome

[@mikeganard6751]

What do you think of those MD trowels compared to other brand trowels?

[@stebaker78]

So I’ve noticed when the notches get bigger the options turn into tiger trowel 1/2” square trowel but what about the round notch trowel when and where would I use a round notch trowel?

[@goldnusu]

잘보고갑니다

[@adrianogold]

Muito bom amigo Show de bola

[@stevebeaulieu2617]

Question: When you install large format tile (24'' X 48'') do you use 1/2 trowel over the membrane and 1/2 in back of the tile ? I mean you put 1/2 of mortar on each end, or less in back of the tile? Thanks for your help !

[@LandbergTileTV]

We do it both ways. If you are new to tiling, I would recommend half inch on the membrane and the back of the tile so you can work the tiles in and together to get a flat installation. Both methods work and provide 100% coverage.

[@stevebeaulieu2617]

Thanks a lot Body ! I will do 1/2 inch over Ditra and 1/4 in back of the tile, just to make sure it doesn't go to hight for my floor. I watch your video about the wet tile saw dewalt, I bought one ! :)

[@stevebeaulieu2617]

Landberg Tile: Hi my friend!, I need your comment ont that: There is my floor layout: Joist 16'-8'' and 17' at 16'' center with 5/8 plywood tong and groove glue and screew. For the deflexion of the joist the place I bought the joist said L648, L699,L745. I need to tell you than I will have an island of 73'' X 84'' with granit counter top on top of my 24'' X 48'' tile. Do you think my joist are enought strong for not cracking my tile ? Deflexion is ok for the lenght of the joist? Would you add a second layer of plywood on top of my 5/8, maybee 1/2 or an other 5/8 plywood? Thanks for helping me, by the way you are a good teacher !

[@joychip5994]

Please when you use a notch trowel do you nearly scrape it jut where the notches are. I wish you could do a video on haw to spread it on and how thick

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes, press hard and key in the thinset. Good idea on a video with how to properly spread it on.

[@joychip5994]

I am a beginner and I have only done it once and I have watched many KZbin videos but can’t find one that actually says how much to put on and how you scrape it out and how to back butter tiles I used some small mosaics in my shower cubicle , your video is good

[@JB-gw5we]

Hiw is the IQ saw working? do you recomend better than a dewalt wet saw?

[@LandbergTileTV]

It's better with different jobs and applications. Cutting big heavy quartz, it's small and compact and no water! The Dewalt is still the best all around.

[@JB-gw5we]

@@LandbergTileTV thanks alot bro i do lots of comercial job and most are porcelain and was thinking on the IQ.

[@LandbergTileTV]

@@JB-gw5we I like the IQ better than the Dewalt, but I like the Dewalt when we do miters. If you don't miter porcelain, then the IQ is a go to for sure.
