I have measured and planned out my tiling (I think). I have 200 wide by 410 length travertine tiles.
I have worked it out (hopefully) so that I don't end up with silly small strips around windows sills, bath, shower tray and some recesses I have built in.
I am sure this is a stupid question but nevertheless here goes:
I will have a strip running around the bath tray that is just smaller than the trowel width.
When I batten the wall for the first full tile above the shower tray then fit my tiles I am then a little confused as to the best way to fix the tiles below the batten. Once they have set and I remove the batten how then do I apply the adhesive and create the ridges? I could use a wallpaper scraper to get the adhesive on but then how I run the trowel through it if it's just to wide? Do I just use the smaller end of the trowel and do many downward ridges.
I've probably not explained that very well but to summarise, in different words, if you have a space to tile that a trowel cannot fit in how do you do it? (Lots of downward strokes with the small width of the trowel?)
Can anyone advise?
Thanks in advance,
Daz
