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

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

      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!

    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.

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

    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.

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