What trowel on this job?
Hi guys just wanted your thoughts really, fixing 450 square travertine onto wedi. What size trowel should I use? I was thinking 10mm then I thought maybe I should go up to 12 to make sure there's a good bed. Then I thought since I'm back skimming it and it's a flat surface maybe 8mm would suffice? Now I've confused myself, put me outta my misery!!! Cheers peeps and peepettes

Re: What trowel on this job?
Backskim and then try an 8mm. Check for coverage, if it isn't enough go up a notch and keep checking 'til you find the right size for full coverage. Wall or floor?
