    Tiling onto backing plaster, skim coat, or strip back and board?

    Hi all, first post here - total novice in need of advice.

    Back Skimming

    When back skimming 650 x 450 porcelain floor tiles used with levelling clips, do I use the notched side or smooth side of the trowel? If the smooth part how thick does it need to be?

    Hey guys, quick question. Using 8x8mm trowel for metro onto backer board in shower. BAL SPF and 8mm deep tile. Only getting about 80% coverage, would you up to 10mm or back butter? They're the cheaper ones from CTD, lots of the tiles are bowed. Should I return and get the more expensive ones...

    Marble veneer with porcelain back

    Does anyone have experience of working with marble veneer tiles? Apparently the veneer is marble, but backed on to porcelain. Are these tiles any good? The marble still needs sealing.
