trowel size?

[Matt]

when backbuttering do you use the same size of trowell that ur already using?? like if using 10mm round do you back butter with that???

or is that a sillt question!!! :52:

I am no tiler, but I am sure you back butter with the flat side of the trowel, not the notched side. Someone please correct me if I am wrong

How I understand it – there are two types of back buttering …
1.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]When you have to use the notched side of the trowel to put addy on the rear of the tile cos you cant get the addy onto the wall in a tricky place (tip – the tile sucks up your addy quicker than addy to wall so work faster)
2.[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Using the flat side of the trowel on the rear of the tile in combination with a notched addy already placed to wall to give the effect of or improved effectiveness ref solid bedding.
Hope I got that right - I stand to be corrected.
