Default Tiling over slight uneveness

NT coughed up some electrons that declared:


Floor tiles need a solid bed, so use more adhesive

OK - ta.

Are there any good tricks of the trade for doing this. Putting a bit too
much on would allow the excess to be squeezed out - is this a good way?
Obviously have to scrape out the grout lines with a small screwdriver or
something if too much appears there.

I was thinking of adopting the bricklaying approach of tapping the tiles
down with a scrap of wood and a tapping implement, using a level over them
until they sit right. I'll be aware in advance of the problem bits I have
to take more care over. Is this a sane plan - only done wall tiles before?

Cheers
