Which trowel?

Post by Red »

Hi,

I want to lay 10cm x 10cm floor tiles on wet room shower tray but I'm not sure whether to use a 10mm or a 6mm notch trowel.

Any advice appreciated

10 mm trowel, you need a full bed of addy.

if it's only a 100mmx100mm tile, anything from 6mm up will suffice. I'd personally go with either an 8mm or a 10mm for these.
