Hi,

If tiling over the odd patch of uneveness (2-3mm ish)?

Does one attempt to put more adhesive on, or just push the tile down
less?

This is for 300mm floor tiles mostly.

More adhesive. I find a blob in the middle is best. Then gradually tap
down with the *handle* of a club hammer i.e. hold the metal bit and hit
the centre of the tile at 90 degs with the end of the handle (sorry,
don't mean to be patronising :-)). If the adhesive is the right
consistency, it'll ooze out at the sides uniformly so that you know
there are no gaps under there. If just the weight of the hammer isn't
enough, add a little water to the mix rather than hitting it harder.
There I go again

Splendid. My last post just crossed over yours, but you've answered the
question. Telepathy...?

Just to check a detail: by "blob" do you mean use a slotted trowel to apply
the basic stripes of adhesive then chuck an extra blob on - or just use a
blob on its own?

Basically sounds like the way I set bricks (yes I use the club hammer handle
there too ;- )
