Can anyone advise on a couple of wall tile adhesive questions please?


1. What is the best way to apply it to get even 'ribs'. I get very
uneven

Thanks for that Stuart and Robert. FWIW I'm using BAL ready-mixed
adhesive, so poor mixing isn't my problem - its just down to
technique/practice I guess.


Did you PVA the wall first? If not the wall could be drying out the
adhesive as you spread it.

I chuck my tiling stuff in a bucket of brick acid every now & then.
