Starting tiling

		To spread the adhesive, hold your trowel at a 450 angle. Apply the adhesive to form straight ribs. Apply an area of adhesive to cover several tiles but no more than you will be able to tile within 20 minutes.
		Press the tiles firmly and evenly into the adhesive using a twisting/sliding action ensuring that the adhesive forms a strong bond to the back of the tile.
Place a spacer between each tile, this allows an even gap for the grout to be applied later. Work sideways and upwards to complete fixing all the whole tiles. Whilst tiling, check with a spirit level/straight edge that the tile surface is flat. Clean off any surplus adhesive, which has formed on the surface of the tile with a damp sponge and remove any surplus from the grout joints.

If the adhesive forms a skin before you have managed to place a tile, remove and replace with new. Remove any guide battens and spacers carefully after 12 hours.
Use a tile trim to give a neat finish at tile edges and corners. Tile trim is available in various thicknesses to accommodate the different depths of tile and is bedded into the tile adhesive.
