I recomend them, I do a fair wack of big porcelain and these save me time, I hate coming back the next day to find 1 or 2 have sunk .
As long as u use a big notch and back butter u wont have any voids.
Also push the tile down very firmly, then use the clips to level.

Just wanted to find out more about lash clips. I had the same idea as Trev trowling the floor and back buttering and he says "it works fine" thanks Trev.

I understand what they intend to do. But what worries me is that you are relying on these little things to pull the tile to the same level, surely you still have to make sure there are still no voids?

Si..

They also stop the tiles from dropping if the adhesive bed slumps.....which it can do sometimes..

Re: lash clips form tradetiler

the trick is to always use the correct notch size for the tile size, ie the bigger the tile the deeper the notch also leveling the floor with leveling compound will help, i also use a tavy puck which helps with leveling and clicks if lippage is present when pushed across the tile edge onto the next tile.
there is a few lippage tools out there from Raimondi, Tuscan leveling system etc the lash seems to be the cheap alternative. seems to me if you have trouble with voids then you need to look at your trowel..i use marshall town 1/2 and 3/8 by 1/4, a 10mm raimondi and a hofman 18mm u also i back butter and mix the standard set so it is soft and easy to trowel i only use rapid on small jobs that need to be done n finished in a day.
