Do I need to back-butter my tiles?

[essexsi]

Thanks smurf. Will def be back skimming them!

I will pull a couple off and take a look, I guess I am looking to get as close to 100% coverage as possible.

Is it ok to just put the tile I have pulled off straight back on. Or do I have to scrape off all the adhesive from both wall and tile and do it again?

Cheers Si

Very rarely get perfect walls ,especially if doing brickbond ,then lots of build up ,
