    First time using 1000 x 333 , any tips.

    These are ceramic and have a little flex. What size trowel for walls , very very flat walls, and is back skimming ok or should it be notched too? Is pink bag ultra god for this? Should it be clipped? If so how many along edge (3?, near corners and 1 in centre enough?)
