I like the glass panel demonstration. It really shows the coverage and how the ridges collapse. Great review on the trowel selection.

I looked through your videos for info on thin sets but didn't see one. So many to choose from. Example Mapei : They have many different products for large tile format. Big price difference for what looks like the same product description on different bags. Thanks and good work!

That pushing from side to side... is underrated. It does help to get the damn thing to stick permanently.

Landberg! Great vids! I am installing 12" glass octagon mosaic tile in my alcove bath/shower. What trowel / technique do you recommend? Thx

[Casull]

Great stuff with the glass tile. What about u-notch trowels?

[junangeles]

helped me a lot deciding what size to use for my backsplash project thank you for this!

[allistonrental]

Great video, very informative. Thank you for taking the time to educate us

[Titantitan]

Isnt Euro suggested for extremely large format? Like 4 foot tiles?

[mikeganard]

What’s the difference between the regular 1/8 trowel and a v notch trowel? Can they both be used for smaller tile or is one better then the other?

[mikeganard]

What do you think of those MD trowels compared to other brand trowels?

I'm installing 6"x12" marble tiles on a wall as a fireplace surround. Going by size I was going to use a 1/4-Inch by 3/8-Inch trowel but each tile weighs slightly less than 3 pounds. Should I step up to the 1/2". And which for the floor in front of the firebox?

Picked up Rubi Pro trowels at Home Depot (1/8 x 1/8, 1/4 x 13/32) for under $14. Hope Rubi makes quality trowels.

Also got a QEP 1/2 square stainless for $8, felt ok in the hand

[Joe-ipky]

Thanks for the great vid, what do you recommend for 6x36 porcelain tiles ? 1/4x3/8 or 1/2x1/2 ?

[stevenmcquade]

I'm glad you're making good videos. The only other contractor I recommend on YouTube would be Sal De Blasi. There are so many hacks on YouTube it's not even funny. I like watching Uncle Sal he's got a funny lisp with a New England accent.

So I’ve noticed when the notches get bigger the options turn into tiger trowel 1/2” square trowel but what about the round notch trowel when and where would I use a round notch trowel?

[Cacophony]

What's the minimum thickness the trowel notch can be for a 10mm thick tile. I'm trying to level it with pre-existing tiles that are a lot thinner (5mm) with 6mm thinset projection for a total of an 11mm projection. Not sure if it'll hold if I butter it too thin. It's a tumbled marble mosaic 10mm thick.

Question: When you install large format tile (24'' X 48'') do you use 1/2 trowel over the membrane and 1/2 in back of the tile ? I mean you put 1/2 of mortar on each end, or less in back of the tile? Thanks for your help !
