Hi All,
Following advice from here I have this evening started to tile after spending ages on prep! I am tiling with 600 x 300 porcelain tiles (8mm thick) onto a primed (Primer G) fresh plasterboard wall. I am using Keraflex Maxi.
The question is should I need batons with these tiles? I decided to use a baton for the first row of tiles that need to sit under a window sill, but this is three rows up. According to the Mapei sheet I should not need to use a baton, but the tiles would have slipped without it. I was planning to tile down from the first row once dry and I don't want to have to use a baton every time as it will take ages.
Could it be as simple as I have made the adhesive to runny, or with this size of tile is it not realistic to expect not to use batons?
Cheers
Iain
