I am looking to tile some walls. The walls are in very good condition and fairly flat. What notch size trowel is best to use. Is 5mm ok???
 
I use a 6mm but i think some walls im asked to tile i could do with a 30mm trowel :lol:
 
It depends on the tiles you are using to be honest. If they're not mosaics you won't have a problem using a 5mm notched trowel. If they are mosaics then I would suggest using a 3mm 'V' notched trowel so as to avoid problems with too much adhesive, which can be a nightmare with smaller mosaics.
 
i average 8mm on walls,
6 on kitchen walls,
8 on good bathroom walls,
10-13 on floors!
