Use the smooth side of trowel for back-buttering. Using the toothed side on both floor AND the back of the tile provided way too much thinset, hence the mud oozing up between tiles. It will save you a tremendous amount of extra work cleaning the tiles and between the tiles before grouting.

@maribueno5550 3 года назад
Brilliant job, thank you! “Imitation”, being the most sincere form of flattery, I am also tiling the floor with a hexagonal tile. I have a question relating to the first cuts made along the shower with the tiles. Was the amount you cut off for the flat cuts based on any particular formula, based on size of tiles and depth of bathroom? I ask as I don’t want to end up with thin slivers along the threshold. I will be doing a dry fit. Thank you!
@AndrewThronImprovements
@AndrewThronImprovements 3 года назад
Glad it helped! The rule of thumb is that you want to avoid slivers of tile - so you already have the right idea. There is no set formula as far as I know - just plan it out so that it looks like you want it. I wanted to have as many "full tiles" on the main walkway and I didn't care about the small piece at the far wall since it would be obstructed by the floating vanity and toilet. So I guess what I am trying to say is that the "right" way is the layout the looks best to you. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project.

I’m not a professional tile layer by any means, but, if you apply sufficient thin set to the Ditra and also back butter the tiles, you should have pretty good coverage - so I don’t see air bubbles being too much of an issue! Good luck!

@adisharr
@adisharr 6 дней назад
Nice job! I would just keep your hands clean while laying the tile and that will cut down on your tile cleanup quite a bit. I just did a 7' x 7' bathroom with 2" mosaic and it was a pain in the ass getting the excess thinset out of some of the tiles. I also ended up filling in the waffles a few days ahead of time since that seemed to work better for me. The Schluter system is great and highly recommended. The floor is solid as a rock now. Finished the grout with Maepi (sp?) Ultracolor Plus FA grout which seems to dry very quickly. If anyone here is thinking of using that grout make sure you mix it on a LOW speed (< 150 rpm) otherwise the excess air will cause it to start to set in 5 minutes.

How did you chose where to put spacers? Sometimes you placed one per side and others you placed two per side.
@AndrewThronImprovements
@AndrewThronImprovements 2 года назад
Hey Jonathan! Honestly, it was just if I felt that I needed addition support/reinforcement. Some tiles were moving around more than others, so I threw in a few extra spacers. You could probably get away with one per side, however. Thanks for watching!
@rotcod2886
@rotcod2886 Год назад
Seems to me that 2 per side would be necessary. the tile could rotate around just one. Having two would theoretically keep the tiles square to each other.

@AndrewThronImprovements
@AndrewThronImprovements 3 года назад
Hey Luke, because the bathroom is so small, I wanted to maximize the number of full tiles. If I had even cuts on both sides, I would only have 2 full tiles. The small cuts are “hidden” by the toilet and vanity and the large tiles are more prominent on the main walkway. That was a stylistic choice on my part. But making it even on both sides would have also been a good call. Thanks for watching!

Hi Rick! I actually made that call intentionally - but generally you want to avoid small strips like that, so you are correct.

But because the wall was be obstructed by the hanging toilets and vanity, I was ok with the trade off. Thanks for watching!
