I think my problem is I'm using the round "surface mount" spacers they
sell at Lowe's, like these

not the "x" shaped spacers that you can put underneath the tile like
these

The back of the tile looks a little more uniform than the front so
perhaps I should use the latter type of spacer
Well, I've learned my 'lesson for the day'. I'll have to go check
the jobs I did 30 years ago- but my last tile job in this house was 20
yrs ago and the spacers I never removed have remained hidden in the
grout. Never knew they were supposed to be removed.
