Who uses square notched trowels for walls?

[Dan]

Just wondered who uses square notched trowels for walls and if so, what mm square notch has it got?

ive never used anything other than square notch 6mm,8mm and 10mm on floors when needed.

You know you could probably save some time spreading adhesive then if you used a large round notched trowel. A thick bed solid-bed trowel leaves 100% coverage with no fuss, I know myself that those 10mm square notched trowels don't give 100% coverage without a bit of work. I'd consider testing one out.

I like to use a v-notch trowel for small wall tiles. It may not be up to B.S., but I don't give a rat's ass.

I always use thin bedfor walls and thick bed for floors
