Hi all, does anyone know what the numbers on the Rubi pliers are for? There's a table of numbers on the pack of Wedges, but I can't work out if it relates to the size or area of the tile. Does it matter what number the pliers are on so long as it pulls the wedge tight enough to make them flat...

When I laid it there was quite a lot of air bubbles rising in it and I went over with a steel float to try and get rid of them, now...
