I think your main problem with this floor, was trying to get it level, rather than just flat. Sometimes you just have to go with the floor, and just worry about not getting lippage. 😉

Depends how flat the floor is,
I've seen me using anything from a 6mm up to a 20mm round notch.
Always back butter floor tiles as it will give you far better coverage.

whats yours definition of back buttering ?

Back buttering is skimming the back of the tile with the flat of your trowel.
This will always lead to a far superior bond from tile to substrate..

but if you use the right trowel in the first place ,then why do you need to back butter the tile ?

Im under the impression it is simply for the best possible bond.
