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.


If you know you have this problem,

Laying laminate 10 years ago taught me to guage the floors first!

Laying wood flooring 3 months ago taught me to guage *all* the floor first,
especially the edges where screed often seems to go a bit wonky.

back-buttering all the tiles will
help you get a deeper bed all round which gives you more wiggle room
for the tiles over the high spots - basically trowel the backs of the
tiles with a 6mm wall trowel as well as the floor with a floor
trowel. Or you could just back butter the individual tiles on the low
spots.

OK - this sounds like a good plan.

To clean the grout lines out, a cheap paintbrush with the
bristles cut down to 10mm or so works quite well.

That sounds like a real pro trick. I have lots of half knackered brushes
which would be ideal candidates for this.

Once again, thanks

Cheers
