Morning all

I have a shower enclosure to tile with 50mmx50mm Porcelain mosaics, which trowel would be best to use, Walls are timber stud lined with Aquapanel and Homelux matting, adhesive is Bal SPF, there is a marble mosaic border also.

Thanks for your help.

Try a 4.5 first and if that is not giving the coverage, then move up to a 6mm. Wouldn't have thought that you would need to go any bigger than that though.
