Default What size trowel for 12" tiles

Square leaves more than U which leaves more than V but they all smoosh flat
when you put the tile on.

Square and U are pretty close, V might not leave enough thinset

The 1/4 x 3/8 trowel should be fine for 12 x 12 tiles.

Does it matter if it's U, Square or V shapped?
