Discuss Trowel size for wall and floor in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

I have a 9mm x300mmx600mm porcelain tile to fit on the bathroom walls with Norcros standard set porcelain adhesive. I have purchased a trowel with round notches which I think/hope is the right one. Please let me know if I will be ok or should I get one with square notches?
I will also be using it to fit 330mmx660mm floor tiles.

yes mate as long as walls are flat, if not could always go up to a 10mm. OP could use his solid bed trowel but I find they can be a bit messy on walls.
oops, got me thinking so I just checked in my trowel bucket and picked up the trowel I would use,,,a 10mm square notch, my mistake.

Thanks. I will get a 10mm trowel to be on the safe side.
Is the solid bed towel the one with the round notch? To use on the floor.
