It's no big secret , so I'll share! I just use red wedges under all 4 corners then force the middle of the tile down, I usually find I can get 2-3mm worth of bend. A double spread of adhesive on the ends (but not in the middle) helps too. I'm sure the tile can take that little bit of flex, probably not advised by the manufacturers but, if that's the way they feel they should make flat tiles 🙂

That's how I do it mate. Seems certain things with Us tilers are done by instinct and not shown by someone else.
Rubi wedges rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm always trying different things/methods/tools to hone my skills, some things work, some fail miserably! I know the levelling systems have a place in our trade, I just need to find one that works for me. Those who stand still will get left behind.

Not yet mate, raimondi is next on my list, then I might give the Rubi a go. Have you reviewed it yet? I've missed a lot of threads from being on my jollies 🙂

No not done any kind of review because of the highly charged mixed reviews on the whole concept, let alone any particular brand! Haha

Well I'd definitely be interested in a review, if I'm gonna give these a go I want to be trying the best ones, maybe we could compile a review thread.
