Hi everyone
New here and starting out in tiling.
Bought many tools and have parents splash backs to do in the kitchen.
Question is?
Is there a simple system or guide to follow regarding with size Trowel, Trim and Tiles to use together?
Ie: Thickness of tile, depth of trim and which Trowel to use?
Thanks in advance for any replies?

Currently looking at fitting 6mm thick ceramic tiles, 100x200mm, and was advised to use 6mm tile trim, and currently have a 6mmx6mm square notch wall trowel.. obvious first question was.. should there be room for the adhesive in there somewhere?

Thanks
Andy
