Yeah I noticed the curve. Was hoping with such a large format trowel and back buttering it wouldn't be a problem. I'll let you know how I got on tonight.

Okay so went well and was impressed. I think the vitrex ones that CTD stock (with the curved bases) are perfect for this particular job as I am using a huge PTB trowel. If I wasn't then I can imagine the curved base would make them useless. Did find they push my grout joints out of place but I'm not sure if they all tend to do that. Also annoying when I kept forgetting to add brackets (need quite a few as these are half bond) but I'm sure I've learnt that lesson now. Was concerned that without a tool they would be really difficult to level with such big tiles but it was fine.

Found Raimondi and similar ones from Italy do the same, just something to keep an eye out for.

So do you lash aficianados use them on most jobs or just large tiles of a certain size and above?
