If you do use lash clips, you have to be so careful to avoid "voids".
As the clips pull the tiles level, they can pull away from the addy.
You may not even notice this, as it can happen at the other side/tile whilst fitting the next row.
I found i didn't save any time, and the results were no better than what i would have achieved without the clips.
As mentioned, getting the surface flat first is a much better solution.
The addy is then going on with the same thickness which will help with any slight shrinkage.
It also means you won't have the problem of the tiles slumping due to uneven addy.

Time spent sorting the floor first is easily made back once the tiling starts.
The tiles seem to fly down, and it is so much easier to get them level as the thickness of the addy is less etc.

I have had a look at the video for those lash clips and they probably would have helped with this one as the addy was as thick in places, easier if floor had been leveled though.

It is all part of the learning curve.. .. TLS system is popular in the states..
