Here's my take on it
for me dot,dabbing is not acceptable,there are loads who disagree tho
i posted on another forum a while back regarding dot dabbing
apparently old Italian craftsmen always dotted tiles and never had any problems
walls is 75% coverage and 100% in wet areas surely dots can cover 75% of a tile
i know its all right to say it is illegal to dot dab but honestly some of the prep I have been left through the years would make you spot fix
just to clarify I don't agree with doing it but there are plenty out there who do and think it's ok
just stating that before I get ripped to shreds lol

Ill admit I have been guilty of dat dab in the past though it was when I just started out as an 18yr old, that was a few decades ago, now I couldn't take the chance because I wouldn't want to ruin my reputation. In saying all this, I dat and dabbed most of my grandmothers bathroom 17 years ago because the walls where bad and didn't have time or money to fix it but the tiles are still hanging today so it aint all bad thou as I mention before, I would never do it now.
