    Round or square notch trowel?

    From what I can gather from this very helpful forum, to fit 10mm thick mosaics, I need a 4mm trowel. It seems that to get a solid bed, you need a rounded notch trowel or is that on the larger sizes? Most of the 4mm trowels seem to be square notched. Thanks in advance.

    Recommended grout width on 60 x 60 square edged ceramic floor tile

    Can anyone advise what is the recommended grout width on 60 x 60 ceramic floor tiles with square edges laid on a concrete floor. My wife says she doesn´t want them grouting and that they should just " butt up " but i feel sure that you must have grout to finish off. Any advice would be appreciated.
