One mistake that must be avoided when using tile leveling systems such as this wedge system, is not to over tighten the wedge when pressing it into place. Doing so causes the clip to bend/flex which in turn causes the grout line to widen. It took us alot of time to realise what was causing our lines to be wider in many places. The lesson? Tighten just until you feel the wedge is fastened securely and that's it! Don't force it in any further so that the clip maintains its straight form. This will ensure consistent grout lines throughout your installation.

Another quick tip I’ve found helpful is to completely clean out the access thinset that may squirt out around the clips. Not cleaning out the grout lines can cause a lot of trouble when breaking the clips off after installation. This is good practice anyways to ensure there is plenty of grout in between the tile but is very critical around the clips. I’ve found keeping an old toothbrush and a bucket of water next to me works best.

Brilliant video, none of the "I'm a great guy" rubbish - straight to the point, clearly explained and the glass tiles just make the whole video work. Excellent.

[ttnnaples]

EXCELLENT...the glass shows what happens on the back of tile.
Thank you from all who like things done to last. And look right.

[integralsun]

Excellent demo. The clear glass tiles made your points … so transparent. Appreciate the effort.

Thanks for this from a master tilesetter that is still learning new techniques after 15 years.
If you would backbutter the glass you would have even more coverage and bonding.
But if you did that it might have been hard to see what's going on so I understand why you left it out.

[andrews]

Thank you so much for showing what's going on behind the tiles!!! This is so much more informational than "just do it because we says so"!

[alankluttz]

Great demo. detailed and to the point without all the unnecessary blah blah. Thanks

[twothreebravo]

I've done a lot of things but I've never tiled and I'm about to tile my parent's bathroom floor and you literally answered every question I had and a few I didn't even know I should have with this one video. I feel confident that I can nail this job no problem.

Thanks!

[sandyovals]

Wonder, straight to the point, no BS, video. Love it. Thanks!

[robertdoyle]

You a certainly the best tile man out there thank you so much for your help

Great video. i learned a ton and have a ton more confidence heading over to Menards get my mortar and trowel in about 5 minutes. This was just the video I was looking for to make sure my bathroom tiles were set properly and with zero lippage. Thanks a ton !!!!

Excellent perception with the transparent glass illustration 👌 nice touch

A great video about how to apply thinset. As others have said, this was all about how to apply thinset and push down on the tile to collapse the ridges and nothing about using the wedges. The only useful tip about using wedges that you did show was removing the thinset between the tiles. You did it but did not talk about it.

Great video. Brilliant use of glass to illustrate what's happening behind the tile.

You guys have made me a better tile guy and I thank you very much. Nothing but love

Awesome video, I like how you used glass panels to show how well the tile will bond. What I learned from this video is that if the thinset is not applied properly then the tile leveling system is almost ineffective.

[mxnnfde]

Thank you. Very good video, it did help me a lot.

[AZgule]

Has nothing to do with leveling system. That was correct and incorrect way of applying the thinset

It looks like green is your favorite color I never seen lime green gloves before
