@@jf9686 totally acceptable to notch back of tile and floor. Come on?!

What you are doing is not back buttering you should use the flat side to “back butter” the tile.You wouldn’t use a square notched knife to put butter on a piece of toast would you?Your video is showing people the wrong way to install tile with excess thinset they don’t need to purchase.If you’re set in your ways don’t take advice but if not do and also get some leveling clips and save yourself a lot of time

@@jf9686 putting mud on back of the tile is by definition “back buttering” whether it’s flat trowel or notch. You don’t much large format tile do ya? And even I need to I use leveling clips

@@Apexjasonmorganllc Yes I do a lot of large format tile been in flooring for over 45 years probably longer than you’ve been alive and have never had a customer call me up about a broken tile not once

@@GRUBB-MUDD you are the man!

Come on

Not if you know what you’re doing. I will say that using the vibrator that close definitely makes me a lil sweaty lol. If possible I try to use a sharp utility knife, but sometimes that can be worse.

Thank you

I did!!!!!

He’s an amazing tile setter

I believe he runs his own business. But yes he’s one of the worst I’ve seen in a while

I'm so scared to hire anyone else. I would probably do better than most myself with zero experience. 😆

@@shaennavincent5082 can’t say I blame you. But there are some very talented men and women out there. Just gotta make sure you do your homework if you decide to hire.

Yes sir! Once you do it for a while you can gauge about how much mud you need and usually get it on the first try. It’s a fine balance! Too much mud and you can’t get the tile to go down all the way. Too little mud and it doesn’t bond good and leaves voids.

@@Apexjasonmorganllc exactly 👍

@@BonBon770 thank you for watching! Appreciate it

@@Apexjasonmorganllc You're one of the only people I don't critique because there's not much to critique about you actually have pride and do great work and are not trying to sell me stuff so I appreciate it very much. I don't know why you don't have more subscribers.

@@BonBon770 thank you for saying that! I get told a lot that I’m underrated on social media. I never started it for recognition. I just wanted to put out sound info! I saw so much bad info on here so that’s why I started. I am grateful for your views and your input! It really means a lot

Appreciate you saying that!!

Thank you

These tiles were fairly flat with a slight bow. We kept the joints random so not doing a half stagger helped with lips. It really depends on the tile you’re working with. I do use clips when I need to but not on every tile.

@@Apexjasonmorganllc Okay, that makes sense. If you don't mind a follow up. What is your tolerance for whether to use clips or not? I typically don't use clips on walls, or at least not as many, with higher quality flat tiles. But haven't even tried a floor without tons of clips for quite a few years. Maybe I'm worrying needlessly..

@@markoshun I’ll use clips if the stagger is a 50/50. Or if the tile has a noticeable crown. These days the clips and wedge quality it way better so I use clips a little more often. If it’s natural stone I do not use clips. You just have to the best judgement call for each tile your setting.

@@Apexjasonmorganllc Ok, got it. Thanks so much. I have come to automatically use them. Just threw me seeing a pro tile setter not using them. I do general renoes, so not tile all the time. I used a Mexican hand-made tile on a shower surround once and even had to throw out the spacers.. was fun. I've got some slate to set on this job coming up, so probably no clips on those. Will check out more of your videos. Thanks

@@markoshun thanks a lot for watching! Yeah anything natural stone I don’t use them.

You can set marble with thinset. Marble does have to be level so prep is king! The mud set method works very well with marble that isn’t the same thickness!

@@Apexjasonmorganllc You know what? I think you just hit the nail on the head with that. That's probably why they started doing live. Mud said because of the different thicknesses that make sense. Thanks for your response and a funny side note in Florida. Marble has always been butt, jointed pushed together with no joint. And I guess Florida has been doing it wrong forever. Because even the N TCA requires a 116th. So for the last couple years, any repairs or like I have a buddy of mine who's really good at mud like you. He has been now adding 116th spacers.

@@BonBon770 funny you say that because way back in the day of 12x12 granite squares on countertops. We always butted those tight. But yes you’re correct you do need a spacing in marble. That’s a big part of mud set is the different thickness. It also allows you meet height requirements that you’d normally have to spend a lot of time prepping.

@@Apexjasonmorganllc Good conversation, And didn't those 12 / 12 have a beveled edge? So even when they were butted together when grouted, it looked like they had a small eighth...... And I have never really seen like your typical travertine Florida marble floor ever have anything wrong with it when it was butted together..... Until recently I just repaired 18 pieces on a condo on the beach and they actually were tented like tile on a concrete slab. I couldn't believe it. It was a fun repair, though. Mud bed was like 2 inches.

@@BonBon770 yeah I did 1/16 joints on this one. The marble is sizey as well so couldn’t go too tight. Thanks for watching and the compliment

They’re decent! Not my favorite but they were available. They work well

Greetings Southern California! From Cda, Idaho! Thank you for watching!!

Yes.

@Apexjasonmorganllc looks great@ Can't wait to see it finished!

@@BonBon770 I’ll get the finished stuff up soon.

Depends on how tall the ridges are. And if it is stuck good? I typically try to remove everything and start clean

Yes

Just haven’t posted any finish yet.

@@Apexjasonmorganllc OK , I was looking forward to it.
