Steps:
1 Apply thin coat of tile adhesive to cement backerboard with smooth edge of a notched trowel.
2 Use the notched edge of trowel to apply thicker bed of adhesive to wall.
3 Start setting bullnose tile along edge of the wall.
4 Press each tile firmly into the adhesive to create a strong, lasting bond.
5 Set the field tile alongside the bullnose, working your way across the wall.
6 Maintain consistent spacing between tiles; if necessary, place tile spacers between the tiles.
7 Allow adhesive to cure before grouting the joints between the tile.
