Are these the weights of using a 6mm trowel or is it 6mm of adhesive behind the tile once fixed? Sounds a stupid question I know.

 

[Mr T]

a 6mm trowel will give you a 6mm bed wont it mate?

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Once the tile has been pushed in the bed goes from a 6mm to probably 3mm. So im asking a question that people might assume its a 6mm trowel when It could be the other way around.

 

[Mr T]

oh I didn't know that mate

 

[Mr T]

oh I know what u mean... my guess would be that its a 6mm trowel which gives a 6mm bed I doubt it would mean a 9mm trowel or a 12mm one.

 

[Ian]

A 6mm trowel will give a 3mm adhesive bed (roughly), when the ribs are compressed and a 10/12mm trowel will give a 6mm adhesive bed (again, roughly)
