Approximately how thick should adhesive be for floor tiles? Tiler only using 2mm thick
:)Floor adhesive should be laid at a minimum of 5mm, once laid and bed this will be reduced, so 2mm is not unacceptable, and it might be in a high point, but tiles as mentioned should also be back buttered to meet the required 100% coverage, judging by adhesive used he is not doing the job...- Goldtrowel

What Angle do you hold the trowel at ?
Use a thick bed floor trowel, a 10mm trowel will give you 5mm at 45 degrees, 10mm at 90 degrees, you should make sure your using a scolloped trowel not square toothed to get full bed. You can get floor trowels from notch depth of 10-30mm.- Goldtrowel
