Back Buttering

[widler]

10mm trowel used at an angle will give approx 8mm bed, press your tile down firmly and there's your 5mm

get away with ya,never :lol:,

just would of thought most adhesives would be able to do thicker than 5mm,aint a right lot really in the grand scheme of things

:devil: back butter every tile , wall or floor, all the time. gives much better bond. plus if you do 10mm natural stone (white marble etc) in wet rooms, when walls/floor get wet, dots will show.

In all seriousness though, especially on floors you need 100% coverage (although do BS not give floors as needing 90% and walls 70%?). Any voids under a tile can crack and break and as mentioned on stone like white marble the addy will stain so by giving 100% coverage you maintain a flawless look.
