trowel size

[marko56]

Am about to tile my corner shower enclosure - tile size is 500 x 250 ceramics - using bal supercover rapid flex - what size trowel should I be using? - one wall is aquapanel the other skimmed - skimmed wall has slight dip of about 2/3 mm in the middle. Have tanked both walls. Have got a 6mm round notched trowel from doing my kitchen a couple of years ago - don't know if this will do?

6mm would be ok if your walls were bang on, I'd suggest an 8/10mm trowel due to the fact that your walls are not quite A1 and the size of your tiles.

I would use 10mm on that size tile.

I'd be using an 8mm for those tiles (your round notch 6mm should be okay in shower area if you also back skim/butter your tiles)
