Splitting hairs I know but it would take longer to trowel several times across the width than trowelling along the length .I was referring to the question in hand here..... planks. The best way to trowel the adhesive in this situation is across the width, not length as I stated.
It stands to reason with large format, anything square or even rectangular that it is virtually irrelevant, but with a plank it is different. It is no extra effort to trowel the shorter distance and you are likely to have a better bed coverage. I only see the positives with this method I'm afraid.
