Same meaning,similar results(in the end)

the tiler who got away with the dot and dabbing is nicknamed Mr. blobby
he has a trail of failed floors behind him mostly ufh porcelain floors doesnt back butter or use a notched trowel at all , his work looks fantastic when it is finished, magazine/ brochure quality but after a few months the tiles start to come loose

Ufh tends to be a waste of time with spot fixing.

In the real world, and when working on old houses and refurb bathrooms for builders etc, you get bad walls and your gonna need to build them out in places which means adding some dabs! I always use the notch trowel on the wall and butter the back of the tile if dabs are neeeed, add them to the tile. You can't do no more. But there is a limit ofcourse

Could you not use a 8 or 10 mm even 12mm float to even the surface out??

 

[Flintstone]

I use 10mm almost every day!

 

[Flintstone]

Up to 15mm notch for the real bad days
