    Default Dog tooth method / rebate

    Field tiles 12mm thick, mosaics 8mm thick. Wall dipping away at top too!


    Used the dog tooth method with an off-cut of tile.
    4mm difference + 2mm adhesive so cut it to 6mm:


    Spread a load of rapid in rebate


    Comb it with dog tooth


    Let dry for 30mins and it will leave a perfect depth to tile on





    Works a treat and saves loads of time, hassle and mess.

    I've done the same thing but with plywood....a tile offcut makes a lot more sense. Why didn't I think of that? Excellent post
