When you pull up a tile to check, do ypu just plop the tile back down? Or, do you have to re-trowl?

[@tiletheworld]

Great question. I would suggest re-trowel that area.

[@MasterPsyi]

Great video!!! I should have seen this earlier! I have one question. Should the trowel touch/scrap the floor when I apply adhesive?

[@tiletheworld]

Yes. The notches should “scrap” the substrate when troweling. This leaves the perfect gauged amount. Good luck.

[@tiletheworld]

Trowel angle is critical also. It needs to be at a 45 degree angle minimum.

[@Sceme1991]

Moving the tile back and forth like that works when you're just demonstrating with one tile, but it's not so easy when you're tiling an entire floor or a wall. Especially when installing 10x10cm tiles that are attached to eachother in 3x3 or 4x4 formation.

[@tiletheworld]

Agreed. For mosaics using a beating block is the preferred method.

But u didn't moved in 2nd one

[@tiletheworld]

True, and it would have helped some, but because of the method there is not a true perpendicular and the air would still be left under the tile. Thanks for watching!
