Back Buttering

[White Room]

Do you back butter metros in a kitchen ?

I might need to back butter if the wall takes a sudden dive in a bit but normally no but use a 10mm ragni.

I was a die hard 12x12mm square notch for years

I've been through a lot of trowels but I need a double hang as had 3 operations on my wrist & the single leg trowels put too much pressure on me.
I've a few almost new trowels hanging up in the van that never get used.

Are the ragni trowels the ones with a notch deeper than they are wide?

It's got 2 legs coming down from the handle instead of one.

on floors I back butter every tile I use a 10x10 mm trowel which is a doudle handled rubie 500mm because of its size gives a better spread than a 12inch one also back buttering with this size trowel takes approx. 3 seconds using the flat side it also enables me to work faster . on larger areas I use a 600 mm pin level giving a complete solid bed and back butter with a mosaic trowel gives 0 voids
