Fantastic info list. Many thanks for sharing

I have to admit - I was using about 2 or 3 trowels for everything.

So, a thin solid bed trowel for wet walls, and a notched trowel for dry walls.

Up until now I've been struggling to get 100% contact with a notched trowel. Several bathrooms and no tiles off yet

Good post mate ....can I add a few questions

1) I read a post on here ....some kind member had done a calc chart for grout and adhesive e.g 4mm space witha 10mm tile = x kg grout per sq mtr ....8mm notch trowel = x kg adhesive per sqr mtr etc .....can't find that post now but would be good to add here ....anybody point me in the right direction ?

2) Why do some tile cutters accommodate a number of different diameter scoring wheels ???

3) I've read bits here an there about tile classifications and the symbols on the boxes, however ...I still come accross things I don't recognise ....anyone know of a comprehensive list anywhere ???

Hope some of the guys can answer these.

Sorry for the thread hi-jack ....I posted here, as I thought the answers might be useful for other newbies too
