Adhesive spread direction

[Italy]

in my opinion,
now you are looking for the hairs in the egg.
we are talking about 120x20,
trapped air,
It remains a speech for large formats and that's it.
after all, I'm just an aprendist ....
and I NOT have no floor that is raised.
this is enough for me, I'm not interested in the direction of the adhesive.
(Again, I consider the answers above,
valid for large formats, example 100x50 and above)

I was referring to the question in hand here..... planks. The best way to trowel the adhesive in this situation is across the width, not length as I stated.

It stands to reason with large format, anything square or even rectangular that it is virtually irrelevant, but with a plank it is different. It is no extra effort to trowel the shorter distance and you are likely to have a better bed coverage. I only see the positives with this method I'm afraid.

I agree geoff,
but a simple question,
he does not need answers from a pharmacist.
already it is complicated to lay plank,
enter and exit a room, work
in tight rooms, etc.
if I must also look at the direction of the adhesive .....
in large spaces, I can also do it.

Lol...."Likely".....
In the scheme of things I don't think it would be critical that you have to serrate against he grain to achieve a better more secure end product ... But I do enjoy debating it ... We digress..

Horizontal for walls...

Splitting hairs I know but it would take longer to trowel several times across the width than trowelling along the length .

I don’t think anyone is struggling for 10 seconds !

Always short way and always one direction, it’s no more diffficult or time consuming really, so why wouldn’t you.

Is it? I wouldn't know as I've never done it. To be honest I have always trowelled towards me on floors. Spreading right to left first to key it in to the surface first, then trowel towards me. Works for any substrate to fully fill voids in Ditra, key in properly to screeds etc
