Best trowel for 10mm thick mosaic? - TilersForums.com

[peterparker]

The 'web' seems to recommend 4mm notched trowel for mosaics (porcelain)

Is this correct and if so is the notch smaller than you would use on the floor to stop adhesive coming through the gaps?

Many thanks for your help

for 10mm mosaics u could use 6mm trowel imo

Thanks, 6mm it is then.

It also depends on the size of the mosaics, youve only stated the thickness of them.

Hi Sharon

They are quite large mosaics, ie 60 x 30 and look like this. Many thanks for your help.

Any further advice or is a 6mm trowel ok to use?

Many thanks

Go for 6mm, that would be my choice with that tile. I'm pretty sure I've fitted that tile before. If you look in my albums I think it's the one labelled, "basin feature". I used a 6mm on that.
