[QUOTE="AT&S, post: 867670"] Raimondi or other levelling clips will leave you with hollow badly fixed tiles as likely as not if not done correctly. My honest opinion is that they are a tool for professionals not a tool that lets DIY'ers (irrespective of competence) become tilers. As for a 5mm trowel. no way. I only used a tiger tooth trowel with these, created a (45deg L shape) folded notch of adhesive and this is applied to tile and surface. As such should the tile lift slightly the adhesive can still provide full coverage.

Do the same but extend your fingers (your knuckles and finger nails on opposing hands are touching, pull your knuckles 5mm apart and most of your fingers are still touching. Thats the best analogy I can think off. RLS are not a magic wand, and do not solve uneven substrate issues. Oh, and should you use it, the yellow pliers are on ebay for about £4 and are just as good as the raimondi ones. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
