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.

While you can fill in holes to flatten out uneven floors, if you
have bumps standing out, my experience is that you need to fix
them first.
If you pad-out the unevenness with extra goop (apologies for the
technical term), then the tile you've laid over the bump will stand
proud of the ones around it. Unless you then add more adhesive to
their beds, too - then they stand out WRT the ones around them ...
I tried to do this when tiling the conservatory - it wasn't very
satisfactory and I ended up pulling up some of the tiles to fix the
underlying bumps.
