Trowelling method

[hillhead]

seen a guy one day doing kitchen walls with a 12mm trowel absolutely throwing the addy at the wall !!! adhesive everywhere and the bloody walls were flat ! (block of expensive appartments). by the time he had finished it was class,lol.30 years experience:yikes:

the origonal and i suppose ' correct way' was to use the flat side of the trowel to lay on with, this created a even and stronger suction/bond prior to combing through..obviously trends, bonding agents and adhesives have developed and changed so techniques evolve.

i only ever butter the tile up, hell of a lot quicker, well for me anyway. just keep the same angle and where there are any deveations in the wall you either decrease or increase the angle.
